Wayne Wendel's Photography
Woodpeckers can be very shy camera subjects and patience is necessary to get close enough for a decent photograph. They are also very curious. Several of these woodpeckers were called into camera range using a small cassette tape recorder. They are very territoral and come looking for the new guy. One species of woodpeckers, Red-cockaded, is listed as an "endangered species". A good photograph of these birds is a prize of any nature photographer.
The Pileated Woodpecker is next to the largest woodpecker. It was the largest until the Ivory bill was found in Arkansas. This Pileated was photographed at the Moore Sanctuary, H.A.S in Houston. There was a nesting pair found along the bayou.
