This page is for the Hairy Woodpecker (Dryobates villosus). I used to see these birds a lot, but once I moved back to Texas and got into bird photography, they seemed to elude me. I was very excited when I started hearing them while out a the Tishomingo NWR. It took a while, but I finally saw one in the open enough to get some decent shots. He flew deeper into the woods soon thereafter.
