I meant, of course, the woodpecker at the bird bath.
I finally was able to upload a couple of photos from my camera that are better than the ones from my "smart" phone.
So here, in all his glory, is the Ladder-backed Woodpecker, stopping off for a wee sip on his way around the neighborhood.
The glare from the rising sun spoils the photo a bit but at least this is better than the previous picture.
With his head in that posture I can only surmise that he is very proud of his flashy coat.
