Woodpecker in Flight

You can see the red of the woodpecker's head and the blur of its wings as it flies away from the tree on which it had just been perched. This woodpecker flitted about for a while and I wanted to get a picture of it, but without a longer lens I did not have much of a chance to get a good close picture.
