Lovely shot, Bee, but it's a Hairy Woodpecker, not a Downy (note proprotionately long bill, Downy's bill is much smaller)

Thank you All very much for your kind comments and to answer your question, Windoze... I was pretty close to that spot and only used the fixed zoom at 200mm and then cropped a little bit from the top and right, here all those pixels of the 828 really help...Bee

Wow, really a well done close up. The clarity of the bark and the markings on the wings against the oof background are outstanding. -johnebones
