Downy Woodpecker

[Tom Walter]

A flock of Downy Woodpeckers (4-5) with juviniles came to a feeding area in my son-in-law's back yard in Orford, Quebec in June. This one posed on a perch that we set up. It was cropped lightly to a portrait format from a landscape shot.

Nice alert look and head angle on this little guy. I think the background could use some NR.

It is nice to see an untradicional pose of this bird, Tom. Nicely done.
