Way to go! Those hovering camera drones are great, aren't they? I must get one since I'm so short. Is that an acorn in the crevice because I can see an oak tree in the background. You sure have a lot of programs to mine under-exposed gloom. Your desktop must be like a well-stocked wine cellar, myriad different products all within reach. I dream about that sometimes. Anyway, if anyone deserves to get a close shot of a RBWP it is you, considering the steadfast nature of your pursuit. I haven't seen one since maybe early September and even then it was way up on a dead tree that was only visible via a visual lacuna within the dense canopy. I felt lucky to have the canopy open up like that just to reveal that woodpecker, but it was more likely offered as a elevated distraction so that I might trip over an exposed root. Nature can be cruel. Maybe that could be a new category for this forum ... nature being cruel. Then again, cruelty is an entirely human concept, much like 'hope' when casting your vote. Maybe I'll just crawl under my own dark-table and contemplate all that nonsense. Hope to hear from you again when I crawl back out.
