The fall colors were magnificent and we saw a lot of bird life along the path next to the stream. Most numerous were Yellow-rumped Warblers followed by Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Most photographical were the Acorn Woodpeckers.

I assumed I was taking several photos of the same Acorn Woodpecker on this tree as it flew to and from the tree. It wasn't until I was editing the photos that I discovered I had a male and a female. The male has the solid red crown, the females red crown is broken with a black band. These photos were taken one minute apart on the same tree.
