Nice catch. I wanted to tell you that a lot of your bird photos appear to be over exposed or a bit soft, I was wondering if you were aware of the issue? What lens do you use?

Beautiful Tabib. Funny to see that this one lacks colors. usually woodpecker are quite colorful.

Very nice shots! If he runs out of ants, I have plenty in my yard!

The woodpecker looks having shell like feathers from the reflection on the first picture. lol.

I have a small birdie that may need your help to identify, if you don't mind. Thanks.

The ants are small, but it looks like there are enoug of them to make at least a good snack. Great series of photos, Tabib.
cheers,

I am amazed what a lot of interesting behaviours one could pick by simply engaging in photography. This is very interesting, Tabib.
