Hairy Woodpecker perched

Here's another shot of the Hairy Woodpecker near the nest I found last week, but she is not in a typical woodpecker posture. At the time of this photo she was very agitated and making a lot of scolding/warning sounds because of the Cooper's Hawk nearby. Maybe at such times she feels safer in a position where she can see in all directions, rather than on the side of a tree which blocks much of her field of view.
