Title: Downy Woodpecker
Post by: IronMike on August 27, 2013, 12:48:02 AM

During a lull in the Osprey action this weekend at the pond, a little female Downy Woodpecker showed up and was nice enough to pose for me.

Thanks to Mike(?) for spotting it and pointing it out... :)

Another Mike

What a timing Mike, very well done. Yes, I tried my hands on her too, didn't turn out this good. At one point it came and sat on a branch right in front of downy spotter Mike and me. It usually doesn't get any better, unfortunately downy was too close for the Osprey lens we had. Sigh.
