Lewis's Woodpeckers (Melanerpes lewis) : A Photo Study

During the month of July I spent many mornings videotaping and photographing Lewis’s Woodpeckers making delivers of various insects to their young in a nest cavity in an Aspen.

Here are a few photos from those peaceful mornings with the Lewis’s.









It was necessary to greatly overexpose the trunk of the Aspen in order for the combination of dark and light plumage of the woodpecker to be exposed correctly.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this images. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.
