| Hairy Woodpecker, Golden Gate Heights |
I took a walk around the neighborhood with the Z8 in a backpack this morning, just to get used to carrying it around, not really expecting to need it. There was a strong, chilly sea-breeze under a fog-shrouded sky, and even the sparrows were mostly hunkered down.
As I was coming down from Golden Gate Heights Park where I'd watched a bunch of crows and a few ravens soaring exuberantly in the wind and occasionally breaking off to chase one of the local red-tailed hawks, I thought to myself that it would be nice to see a woodpecker. A few seconds later I heard the tweet of the fellow in these shots and was fortunate to be able to fire off a few frames before he flew away.
