A Stare-down

We stopped to feed the birds at biigwoods and saw this faceoff. This White-breasted Nuthatch and Downy Woodpecker came face to face and locked in a stare-down. After a while, the nutatched flinched and it was over. Cute.

Suet Connoisseur?

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.

Never Gets Old

We have seen a variety of woodpeckers recently but it seems like we only photographs Downy Woodpeckers. I am not complaining, but I keep trying top capture photos of their cousins. It never gets old.

Unfazed By My Camera

This Downy Woodpecker was only about 20 feet away from me ... and didn't seem to care that I was so close. I sure enjoyed the expereince.
