This Downy Woodpecker seems to enjoy suet cake. I thin we have seen the same bird feasting on it several mornings this past week. I guess he is a suet connoisseur.

This Downy Woodpecker was really focused and engaged. He was working on this tree like it had to be done right away.
I had to squeeze this shot between a couple of trees, but I got it. The challenge is sometimes more rewarding than the actual outcome.

A quick quiz: male or female?

In case you forget, this is a female Downy Woodpecker. The key is the red markings on the head of the male. The second photo is a male.

The weather has been wet and cold. That does not seem to slow down the Downy Woodpeckers. From the spot where I shot this photo, I saw at least three of them. I guess they don’t mind the cold.

I was surprised when I caught these two woodpeckers in the same photograph. One is a Red-bellied Woodpecker, the other one is a Downy Woodpekcer. They didn’t stay long.
