Take Flight

I saw the woodpecker first in a chokecherry pecking at the berries, but he was obscured by leaves not leaving me with a shot. I was surprised when he landed half way up this dead tree and scampered up to the top. Before I had chance to catch him, he was off again. A split second later would have been nice to clear the tree, but I'll take it.

What's interesting is he still has a berry in his beak. A snack for later, or for a young one? I'll never know.
