Birds of East Africa
Cardinal Woodpecker
As we were on our way out of our room in Sweetwaters Camp after another great week-end, I spotted this woodpecker on a tree. I dropped the suitcase I was carrying and grabbed my camera. I approached very cautiously and managed to get several shots of the bird before it flew off.
