I've noticed this previously, but this photo illustrates the way in
which woodpeckers use their tail as an extra "leg" in positioning
themselves on a feeder or on a tree trunk.

I've had glimpses of this woodpecker at times, but he never stayed
long enough for a snap. I glanced out at dusk yesterday and saw him,
but worried that there was not enough light to get an image. He was
constantly moving, so I raised the ISO to 6400 to get the shutter
speed up to 1/50, having never tried this high an ISO rating with the
X-E1. This was the best of the several images.

Fujifilm X-E1 with Leica Telyt-R 250/4 plus 2X Extender, ISO 6400,
1/50 at f/4 on tripod.
