Whenever I see woodpeckers, I am reminded of the Woody, the Woodpecker cartoons that I used to see when I was a child growing up. As I remember it, though, I believe Woody was a Pileated Woodpecker. These pictures that I have here today are of a Ladder-backed Woodpecker. The male, I photographed yesterday morning. Both images of the female I captured earlier today. All were at San Angelo State Park in San Angelo, Texas. Enjoy the photos, and as usual, click on any of them to see enlargements.
