Thanks, Paul. And a nice shot of the Flicker. They are fairly scarce
around here.

Good capture, Jim.
The use of the tail as a prop or "extra leg" is also demonstrated in
this image of a Flicker.

I've noticed this previously, but this photo illustrates the way in
which woodpeckers use their tail as an extra "leg" in positioning
themselves on a feeder or on a tree trunk.

I've had glimpses of this woodpecker at times, but he never stayed
long enough for a snap. I glanced out at dusk yesterday and saw him,
but worried that there was not enough light to get an image. He was
constantly moving, so I raised the ISO to 6400 to get the shutter
speed up to 1/50, having never tried this high an ISO rating with the
X-E1. This was the best of the several images.
