As he was working over the tree, seeking bugs for his dinner, he seemed distracted by something at the nearby bird bath.
I wondered if he would go down and get a drink.

But he didn't pay the slightest attention, just got his drink, turned his back and then flew off, frightening the woodpecker away with his flapping wings.
And so ends this episode of Life at the Avian Crossroads.
