31Jan06 - Downy Woodpecker - 9963

Connecticut

Photo a Day, Day 307...Definitely not as good as yesterday's cardinal but this is a new "feathered friend" at our feeder. We started the suet feeder as my son really wanted to see some woodpeckers and we are now seeing 2-3 of these downy ones each morning... This morning was cold wet and sort of rainy/icy and it never got any better... Lighting wasn't the greatest for this shot (shaking from the cold didn't help either!) - probably should have bumped up to ISO 1600 or 3200... BTW - Thanks for the help on the unidentified birds in the 'extra' shot yesterday!

At least you got outside before the yuck came :) Love to watch these guys--walking upside down.
I need to get rid of my cats.

I'll have to get a suet feeder also. I saw a woodpecker in the tree yesterday, but it wouldn't come any closer.

I definitely need a suet feeder. We have woodpeckers in the woods but they don't come near.
