I believe this is a Red Breasted Sapsucker, but not certain.

I really like the leafy bokeh behind the brilliantly-colored bird.

Don't you love how the pattern of the tree resembles the pattern on the bird? Nice capture, well done...love your wonderful bokeh!

I like the colors, especially the red against the dappled background. Your sapsucker looks a little fierce! :-)

This looks like something you'd see on a Christmas Card, except that it would have snow. The reds and greens really make it stand out.

Whatever it is, the bokeh is outstanding and I like the composition with the angled trunk and bird.

I like the interesting angle of this one ,our birds are generally not so colourful here in NZ

We don't have those guys here so I always find them fascinating. Maybe we do, but the mockingbirds and blue jays scare them away~ LOL

Beautiful shot, I like the way his body feathers almost mirror the colour of the tree.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great capture. The color of the bird just about mimics the color of the tree with its white and grayish tones.

I really don't know if it's a Red Breasted Sapsucker, but it looks beautiful. It's just a nice composition and a nice match of the colors.
