West Texas Birds
I am not a big birder but each year, I am amazed at the number of grassland birds that are around here.
This morning, I saw a first for me out here - a red-headed woodpecker. In addition to the woodpeacker, I did see some other cool stuff.
It's impressive how in an area nearly devoid of big, mature trees, that these birds are cunning enough to make a living in a place that can be tough on both humans and animals.

Impressive shots for someone who is not a birder! I guess if you have it, you have it! Great woodpecker shots as well as the others.
Do you mind sharing how you set up for these? Ground blind, vehicle? I'm very curious.

Thanks Casey.
I shot these out of the cab of my pickup. Nothing too exotic, I just parked along a fence, listened to the radio, and waiting for stuff to cruise past.

...and that woodpecker lands on the fence post for you. That's too cool. Just goes to show you that, just like fishing, you don't catch anything sitting at home. Way to go, man.
