for a fairly slow day at BC & El Dorado, I was actually pretty happy with the other available subjects.

fish hooks (but no fish)



awesome concrete river for background. that's how the pros do it.. X_x



and my nemesis, the belted king fisher.



american kestrel coming in for landing



one ugly mofo



I like this one



what is this?



and finally. "there are no pelicans here, please take your camera and leave"

I think you have a Downey Woodpecker - but I'm not good at them so maybe someone else will know better

Nice series

Lil - taking a break from the cleanup job after the California Wildfires....

That is a downy woodpecker. You are correct Lil Judd.

Looks like they got just a little of just about everything out there at, El D. While I've known of it for at least a couple of years I had no idea it has so many possibilities. Wonderful series with that KF my top pick in the set closely followed by the shots fo the Downy and the RTH.


Ken

I'll second (third?) the downy woodpecker, and it's a male as indicated by the red on the back of the head.

Is the bald eagle still being seen out there?

Ryan

few more that i thought were kinda nice





I clipped the wing..








I kinda like the "backwards" focusing on this picture
