DOWNY WOODPECKER

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?

      Kind words Ginny, thank you. I found the sunflower feeder at the Plough and Hearth. They have a shop we go to occasionally.

    Gosh, 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.

    Your third one is my favourite. I don't know if we have this kind of woodpecker here.
