Yesterday before breakfast I had a feathered friend at one of the bird feeders, a male Downy Woodpecker. A welcome visitor.
I grabbed my camera quickly and didn't realize I was taking these first few photos through the screen on the window, but they came out okay I think.
At least the sun wasn't directly overhead.
This is pretty much photo overload but I had a hard time deciding on which ones to share.
I love the feather pattern.

We have the Downys around here. But I have NEVER gotten pictures this good. Even through a screen, they are wonderful; sharp and clear. I love your sunflower feeder! It is both yard art and a feeder combined. Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteKind words Ginny, thank you. I found the sunflower feeder at the Plough and Hearth. They have a shop we go to occasionally.
DeleteWHAT a beauty. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome EC.
DeleteGosh, it's years since I saw a woodpecker. I hear one occasionally but the crafty bird knows when to keep out of sight. You got some good shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie, they are very skittish.
DeleteMuito bela esta sequência de fotografias.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
