Talk about small birds ... this is one small songbird. It is a Brown Creeper. They move around so fast. If this one didn't move I don't think I would have seen him (or her).

Teresa captured this photo. I wanted to share it to show the size difference between a Downy Woodpecker (one of the smallest woodpeckers) and the Pileated Woodpecker.
From the audubon link:
"Excluding the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, which is largely believed to be extinct, 22 woodpecker species call North America home. The Pileated is the largest living woodpecker in North America—nearly three times taller than the petite Downy Woodpecker."
They are very large .. but a cool looking bird.

This Downy Woodpecker was not upside down, but he was all over the place. It took me a while to get a photo. They are such a small woodpecker. I will share a photo that shows their size tomorrow

The last photo I posted of a Northern Cardinal was of a female. I believe this is her mate. He is gorgeous too.

The weather is changing now and spring is not far away. This week we didn't see as much wildlife but it sure felt good to get out of that nasty cold we had last month.
Still seeing a number of Mourning Doves most days.
