This crimson-crested woodpecker was hanging around our camp in northeast Brazil. I was in the area looking for maned wolves. Nice to capture a few other creatures as well. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (with 1.4 teleconverter for 550mm) ISO 400, f/8 at 1/400th of a second.

Ha. Thanks Michael. I see what you mean.
He looks like he is a pretty sizeable bird — sort of like our pileated woodpecker. Wouldn’t want to be on the wrong end of that beak!! Nice capture.
