p.1 #1 · Lewis's Woodpecker and Variety

The Lewis's has moved into a park here in San Diego and is an incredibly active and hard working bird. A first for me and the most beautiful woodpecker I've ever seen. The Vermillon Flycatcher is from Lindo lake and the Marbled Godwit from the San Diego River channel. The Godwit threw a giant fit about having the eel grass wrapped around his bill, squaking and stomping like a spoiled little kid, just hilarious and very human like. The Wilsons Warbler is from San Elijo, I think. Thanks for looking and any feedback is always appreciated. (10)

Excellent series Chris. I've never seen a Lewis's Woodpecker before, and you captured some great moments in the Godwit's dilemma.

Congrats on these captures, Chris. I believe this is the first time I see a Lewis's Woodpecker posted here. The same for the Vermillon Flycatcher. Beautiful shots of beautiful birds, including the Wilsons Warbler.

Beautiful series, Chris. I was at Lindo between Christmas and New Years, out hunting the Vermillion, but I never saw it. People would see me with the camera and talk to me about this beautiful red bird they saw "yesterday", but hadn't seen today.

The Godwit series is fantastic, and the Woodpecker is quite a find, too.

Chris -
I see that you're trying to catch up on your posting. You're still pretty back logged from the look of things.
That first shot of the Lewis looks like he just got a pretty good jolt.

Wonderful series, Christopher. I had the same thought as Ken in that the first one appears to have received a good jolt

Beautiful bird. The Godwit is hilarious and that second shot of him is fantastic.

That's some mighty fine looking flight shots of him too.
As for the Godwit, you always seem to be there for the behavioral shots, no matter what the bird. Good instinct and timing, I guess.
Now, hurry up and post the rest of your back logs.
- Ken Hey, Ken. Trying to, but it is tough. Backlog doesn't come close to what I got here, but when the choice is go take pictures or process, I'll go take pictures.
