    That is just one cool pic! It was the topic and joke starter for everyone during lunch at the plant today.

    If that picture is real, it is one of the best I have ever seen.

    I saw this picture on the news a day or so ago they were speaking of it going viral on the net, If it not photo shopped its sure a rare sight and very lucky to get a picture. I heard humming birds hitch rides on geese to go migrate but never seen a picture of it.

    I first thought it was a joke until I read what the photographer said.The woodpecker survived this time.

    That photo violates what little I know about the laws of ornithological aeronautics but it certainly looks legit. One possibility of the blurred background is that the woodpecker is not actually flying.
