Downy Woodpecker by skipt07

Downy Woodpecker

I saw her working at the suet so I grabbed my camera and tripod and sat them up on the porch and waited for her to settle down. She went to this branch and sat very still for the longest time.
Beautiful

A lovely shot! Our woodpeckers never cooperate like this, I'm impressed.

@kerristephens - Thank you Kerri!

@mtngal - Thank you Harriet! I think I scared it and it was still hungry. I have seen birds do this when a hawk is around.

@danette - Thank you Danette!

@vickisfotos - Thank you Vicki!

@groovygirlrn - Thank you Sheri! We are making up for the snow we didn't get last year.

@chrissieh - Thank you Chrissie!

@todimf - Thank you Cecilia for the, "Wow!" I may remain, but I don't know to what capacity. I have learned that posting a photo a day requires more time then I imagined at the start. But the biggest thing I wasn't prepared for has been trying to keep up with commenting.

Such beautiful snow shots you have this past week. Snow is a drive for me, but I hope to get some this winter.
You are so close to the end of year one as well. Congratulations.
You don't have to give up completely for year two. Just take it as it works for you.

@lynnb - Thank you so much Lynn! I have seen birds do this when a hawk is around and with all the snow hawks will sometimes target bird feeders.

@fueast - Thank you Alison! I really appreciate your comments.
