Another bird, this time a hairy woodpecker.

I still want to clean up a few things but this is basically it. I'm having fun with these birds. This is a hairy woodpecker, which is almost indistinguishable from a downy woodpecker - it's a little bigger and has a longer beak but not much difference otherwise. Next will be a loggerhead shrike with its impaled prey.

You got the detail in the eye and the claw exactly. May I ask what size canvas this is? Just curious.
