(13,737 posts)Capturing them with such vibrancy and clarity looks easier than I bet it is. Nice collection of woodpecker species.

(299 posts)it was a thing to catch these. They were called Tpops.
A neighbor in the city - New Orleans - had one in a horrible bamboo cage.
I worked at a public aquarium with a huge Amazon exhibit. I told her I could release the bird there and it would be happier. She somehow agreed, and as soon as she left I let that bird out the back door, and there are good lies, yall.
