Today I was at a rest stop in California and did a Bird Walk, hearing many calls which I didn't recognize and pulled out my camera, hopeful of seeing something of interest. Sure enough, a few minutes later I saw a male Nuttall's Woodpecker foraging in a tree.

I have the camera set up to fire at 10 fps, figuring that I can just delete ones I dislike.

So I lined up the Nuttall,s and fired a burst. Immediately the NW started to drum on the branch where he had been foraging. I repeated the burst twice more and each time the NW started drumming. Clearly the male was interpreting the rat-a-tat of the camera's motor as a challenge to his territory.

This feature is absent from the model's manual.
