I was photographing Painted Buntings last month when I spotted this pondering Woodpecker eating suet out of one of the feeders in the bird blind at Pedernales Falls State Park. The Ladder-backed Woodpecker<\/a>\u00a0seemed like it was really enjoying its\u00a0food. As I mentioned in a previous post, suet is used by bird blind owners to attract birds.<\/p>\n

The weather here in Texas has settled into a sweltering heat for the next couple of months so going out and photographing in the heat\u00a0is not something I want to do. So, I think I’ll focus on processing some of my older photographs and working on my macro skills until things cool down a bit.<\/p>\n

Ladder-backed Woodpecker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This image was taken with my\u00a0Canon EOS 5DS<\/a>\u00a0using my\u00a0Canon EF 100-400mm f\/4.5-5.6 II Lens<\/a>\u00a0set on 400mm. The camera was set on\u00a0Aperture priority<\/a>\u00a0mode with the aperture set at f\/6.3, shutter speed at 1\/400th of a second and the ISO set at 320. This is a single photograph processed in Lightroom and Nik Color Efex Pro.<\/p>\n
