Photo Please …

I usually photograph Downy Woodpeckers that are climbing a tree. This one wanted her photo taken.

This American Tree Sparrow was in no rush. She seemed to be happy to own this spot.

Hiding In Plain Sight

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).

Big And Small Woodpeckers

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.
