22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
woodpecker

I took this picture while riding my bike past a golf course. On one of the posts that fences the golf course with a net, I noticed two large holes and a woodpecker bustling about nearby. After sitting near the upper hole, the woodpecker disappeared into it, and a moment later appeared in the lower one. After sitting for a while on the edge of this hole, the woodpecker flapped its wings and quickly flew away into the distance.
