Audubon Photo Awards

A White-headed Woodpecker moments after driving a rival from a perch near HIS feeder

I was thrilled and honored to have the photo above selected for the 2020 Audubon Photography Awards: Top 100. Check out the winners and the rest of the Top 100. An amazing group of photos chosen from among over 6,000 entries.

This photo was part of my early attempts to capture Woodpecker fight club in my front yard.

In this photo the White-headed Woodpecker dove at a Hairy Woodpecker sitting on this perch and drove him away. I was lucky to be able to capture this image just as he landed and kicked up the snow with his tail.
