Thanks everyone.  I took this near the feeders along the fence around 10am. He was quite bold for a large woodpecker.

I was fortunate to be in the right spot while the sun was out and he posed just long enough to get this shot.

Lovely photo.  I was there last Sunday and got this shot of him defending a peanut from a Blue Jay.
