Face-off at the feeder! The male northern cardinal was hoarding the feeder, but this female hairy woodpecker put him in his place with a literal tongue-lashing!

Ce cardinal rouge male intimidait les autres oiseaux au mangeoire, mais cette pic chevelu l'a vite remis à sa place!

This hairy woodpecker (pic chevelu en français) was having a feast on a bug-infested tree. Hard to get a clean shot through the growth at the edge of the forest… I like the moss on this tree.

It's always a pleasure to show up to a park, camera in hand, and immediately find a bird on display! This Hairy Woodpecker (Pic Chevelu en français) was hammering away at this maple tree.
