Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker
by Brett Turner (BrettTurner)

Camera:

Pentax K20D

Location:

Charlottesville, Virginia

United States of America

Photographer Notes:

With the leaves gone and the land mostly brown, birds are about the only splashes of color left. This yellow-bellied sapsucker flew south to Virginia for the winter, just in time to be captured with my new DA *300.

Nice shot - and now I know why they're not showing up yet in Newport News. They're on vacation in the mountains!

The green needles really lend a splash of colour. A well taken photo.

Beautiful bird Brett ~ I've never seen one of these.. I love his splash of red!

Thank you all for your comments. Marcia, the DA *300 is not a camera but a 300mm prime lens. The star lenses are Pentax's best, equivalent to Canon's L lenses. It's a great lens, though just a touch heavy for everyday use.
