Downy Woodpecker

It was a thrill to see this beautiful bird on top of Skinner Butte. I don't get a chance to see many woodpeckers, though at times I can hear them in the trees. This one happened to be in a tree above the walkway I was on. Shooting upward into the tree created a busy background, which I felt was fitting.

An especially nice shot! The woodpecker just 'pops' against that background.

They are a good looking bird. Here in Ohio, they are very common and I have a couple of them hanging on our window suet feeder all winter. Now they are settling for sunflower seed.
