For Cee’s weekly odd ball challenge, I thought this photo may do. It shows a young woodpecker pounding away at a sunflower seed that he snatched from our bird feeder.
He was so fast that his head was just a blur. After at least two minutes, he stopped and I took the following shot.
Great shots! I read once that their brains are stabilized in the brain cavity, so the pounding doesn’t affect them the way it would ours, ‘sloshing’ around in brain fluid. So no headaches!

BOTH are brilliant, Hien ! – the first one gets the woodpecker movement like nothing I’ve seen before; and the second shows him with a headache (I think). {grin}

Very cool, Hien. How far were you from the bird, if you don’t mind I ask… Thanks. Helen

Helen, I was 20 ft away, the length of our backyard deck.
