plonqBug hunter.
We heard this little critter hard at work when we got out of the car this afternoon and finally tracked it down to the power pole across the alley. I think this is probably the same woodpecker that almost made it as my Picture of the Day in early January, but I got a slightly better shot of the neighbour's cat for that one.
I broke out the zoom for this one and shot it at 200mm, with an aperture of f/9.5 and a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second. I sharpened it a bit, and brightened the colours a small amount because of my camera's tendency to under-saturate in RAW. The only other significant change I made was to crop away enough of the picture so that the bird was the obvious subject.
