Downy Woodpecker

Last night I heard the "pik" call of a Downy while in my car looking for bluebirds at a location where they breed. Turned and saw it right by me on a mullein plant. My quiet electric car can be a very effective blind for photos.

Hadn't thought of that benefit of an electric car - wow - what a terrific shot up close. Love that catch-light in his eye.
