Woodpecker

 
A few days ago, my friend Kare and I spotted this Acorn Woodpecker on our walk around Lake Lagunitas. These birds are not terribly shy. You see them perched on an exposed branch from which they will fly as you approach, but only to perch again on another branch not far away. It's as if they want you to admire them. What puzzles me is how they can do their woodpecking without serious injury. Just imagine you doing it!!
