stuny Posted April 11, 2022 Share #2 Posted April 11, 2022 Al - My only objection to this is the lack of sharpness on its head and eye. i captured the image twice, and with the first capture I sharpened, and it worked well. For the second one I used "reduce camera shake, and it worked well, too - perhaps even better, though I find 'reduce camera shake" often shows too much processing. If you like I can send the images to you via PM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted April 12, 2022 Share #4 Posted April 12, 2022 Little known woodpecker fact: They don't hammer away for food. The hammering is their call to others of their species. I'll PM the two modified versions I mention above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hammering is their call to others of their species. I'll PM the two modified versions I mention above. In the case of the pileated woodpecker, they also hammer away on rotted tree trunks to create large, oblong holes as entries to their nests. I've watched this in action on our property in the Michigan Upper Peninsula. Quite an amazing sight to see the chunks of wood fly. Photoshop has a sharpening tool that can correct motion blur and camera shake to some degree. It's quite slow, however, And a huge memory hog.

The hammering is their call to others of their species. I'll PM the two modified versions I mention above. Not true Stuart. They hear their prey. Then, they bore a hole with their beak at a velocity speedier than bullet exiting a gun. Then with a tongue that is so long that it must be wrapped around the eye inside the head. They have special shock absorbing material in their heads to eliminate damage. The tongue has a bark that captures the prey as the tongue follows the path of the prey which could be ten inches in length. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share #8 Posted April 16, 2022 Even a flicker has this tongue. Welcome, dear visitor!

carl_valiquet Posted April 16, 2022 Share #9 Posted April 16, 2022 Albert thank you for posting this colorful image. I know nothing about this woodpecker, so I looked up WIKI. So interesting. I like the head a bit unsharp ,( but i do understand your point of view Stuart) sort of accentuates how fast this bird bores the holes. Thanks guys for the discussion, I will now go to bed, more knowledgeable than this morning. 😆 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
