Thanks, Larry. It sure was. Ended up with a whole lot of purple fringing. This was the best of 10.  We commonly get two species here - this one & the smaller Cardinal. More often heard than seen. We will be going into the Kruger Park on Sunday for the first time this year.

Awakened my slumbering camera today. The birds seem to think it is spring 
already but they are almost certainly in for a surprise. Captured this 
Goldentailed Woodpecker at work in deep shade on my Oak Tree (Quercus Robustus) 
this morning. It managed to hammer all the bark off a dead branch in its quest 
for a snack.

Cool shot.  It looks like it was super technically challenging with it in shade 
backlit by bright sunlight.

K5 & HD 55-300 @300mm, f5.8, ISO320.
