Well, it's been a heck of a bird day.
I went outside to check on what I thought was a package being dropped at the wrong door… again. But what I thought was a package being dropped was apparently this little fellow knocking himself silly on the window. I found him on his back, and thinking he was a goner, picked him up for a respectful disposal. Nope, he fluttered back to life and landed in a convenient spot for photos. Point and shoot in the macro mode this time. He was quite dazed, which allowed me to get right in his face, literally.

The woodpecker certainly doesn't qualify for peace. 
A friend suggested he was suffering from a very large headache. 
Stunning photos of the male of this species! They make up for their lack of sense with their extraordinary good looks 
I always love seeing these little guys when I visit the western states. Thanks for sharing.
I had to get my yard ready for moving so except for a small throw away container all my bird feeding dishes have been cleaned and stored. Fewer birds coming around.
