Back Yard: Woodpecker

I've photographed a lot of different birds in the back yard, but one that has eluded me until now is the woodpecker. I know that they are around, however they seem pretty shy. I saw a couple of them in the dead tree in the side yard the other day, but they were gone by the time I was able to get my camera. Today this one showed up and I was ready for him.

There are a lot of cardinals in our yard. This one showed up about the same time as the woodpecker.
