Downy Woodpecker On Fungus by Laura Milholland

This male was on a tree in our front yard.
Not sure if he eats at the fungus, or is looking for hidden bugs there.

I never knew woodpeckers ate fungus... Quite the little beauty.

What a great combo. I can't say I've ever seen a bird on fungus. Nice and sharp.

A super shot with the P900

The fungus "dish" probably contains delicatessen.It's like being served in a top restaurant LOL. Again an excellent shot with the P900.

Well caught Laura, it's such a neat and tidy little bird.

This is one of the best woodpecker shots I've seen, Laura. Great shot with the Coolpix p900!

Good catch, they move quickly and can be hard to get crisp shots of them.
