Downy Woodpecker by lsquared

Downy Woodpecker

Caught at the suet feeder...

"Downy Woodpeckers are small versions of the classic woodpecker body plan. They have a straight, chisel-like bill, blocky head, wide shoulders, and straight-backed posture as they lean away from tree limbs and onto their tail feathers. The bill tends to look smaller for the bird’s size than in other woodpeckers."

Such a nice image - it displays him beautifully. Thanks for all the info - we don't have woodpeckers over here. :)
