Either you have lots of reach or you are extraordinarily sneaky.

Explanation #3: very lucky. I had taken my dog for a walk at a farm open for hunting, walking, etc. On the way back to the car, I heard a train whistle and decided to go see if I could get pics. On the way, I spotted the woodpecker in a vine along the road, turned around and pulled over. You see the results. I was using my Sigma 170-500. These were at 500mm from the car.

These are great. I get a pileated on my suet feeder from time to time. Really cool to see them up close. Nice shooting!

Thank you! I opened the car door to get closer and looked through the viewfinder but couldn't find it. I heard it laugh as it flew away
