This morning I noticed this visitor on our lawn! Luckiky I had my camera closeby (hey, that's typical a PT-er ;)), so I quickly took a few pics.
They are a bit blurry, because they're taken from inside the house!
It is a woodpecker, but I am not sure which one it is

He was very alert, and as soon as he noticed me behind the window, off he took!!:(

NICE catch (with camera)! Thanks for getting the photos for us.

Seems to be the "green woodpecker."

That is a beautiful wild bird. Thank you for sharing the pictures. You learn something new everyday. A Green Woodpecker & possibly a male? The male woodpeckers in this part of the country have the little red skull caps on their heads. :)
