    @JimsPhotos@ohai.social I love this…didn’t know green woodpeckers were a thing til recently. They’re like a more parrot-flavored version of our red-bellied woodpeckers.

      @scarfwitch@queer.garden we have just 3 woodpeckers, the green being the largest and most colourful. Our other two are the Greater Spotted and Lesser Spotted. Nice photo by the way! I wish we had more varieties of woodys here.

        @JimsPhotos@ohai.social I love it!! We have four common in Michigan - red-bellied, northern flicker (which goes on the ground, v weird) , and the downy and hairy woodpeckers which look really similar. (Downy are wee, so cute)

        @JimsPhotos@ohai.social and thank you! That was actually an iPhone pic…I need a longer telephoto lens for my slr. A lot of my bird pics these days are just backyard birds shot through the kitchen window and it would be nice to be able to get similar shots/focus to my binoculars.
