Hunting Woodywoodpecker

[psyclop]

I have seen this little bugger at first way up the tree at the bottom of a small canyon. after 1/2 hours waiting, I went up the canyon to get a better shot,
he flew away. So I've started following it in deep snow up to my knee, for
about 4 km. Finally got it....

Pileated Woodpecker, nice shot. We had one outside our kitchen window in a Austrian pine last week.

Nice! Very nice! I've seen almost every other woodpecker know to man but that one. What equipment were you using?

You need to borrow Ron's snowshoes for that deep snow!

For the money isn't not a bad lens, but if you've got a M42 adaptor, get the Takumar 55mm 1.8. I've got it, and it's sharper, but if you don't, then that other isn't to bad either. It's hard to go wrong with any 50ish mm lenses from any manufacture. (not just Pentax line)
