In Millcreek Twp (“Gateway to Presque Isle”), recent drama with a Red-bellied Woodpecker attempting to steal a Blue Jay‘s nut/acorn breakfast. (Photo above: released nut/acorn is just under the Jay’s left tail feather.) Shots are grainy due to high auto ISO = fast shutter speed (1/2500 s) + low light conditions. Still, fun to see. Note also the eponymous red belly.


Bonus recent woodpecker shots, all at Presque Isle State Park:
