Hairy woodpecker

MALE HAIRY WOODPECKER, GREEN, MICHIGAN, MAY 29, 2019

Pentax K-3
Pentax-F 300mm with Pentax 1.4x extender (420mm)
1/3200 sec. f6.7
ISO 1600

The hairy woodpecker and its smaller lookalike, the downy, are familiar denizens of our Upper Michigan cabin's bird feeders. I used the largest possible aperture on this system in order to throw the background out of focus as much as possible while retaining sufficient depth of field.
