Obviously a male ( red marking on the back of its head) Woodpecker but which species? Hairy or Downy? We have both visiting, almost daily and I think this is a little Downy!
A woodpecker bonus picture! This I call a swirl of feathers , of a Hairy Woodpecker ( no sign of red so perhaps this is a female Hairy, as I was focusing my camera on a feeding woodpecker, it abruptly flew away.Got photos with red want to share them?To check out other postings on Ruby Tuesday just click on the Ruby logo on the side bar or here:http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/.

Those small ones are beautiful. I would say that you captured a swirl of feathers on the last one. Helen

They're hard to tell apart but I'm thinking it's small enough to be a downy. :) We have both at our feeders.
ReplyDeleteThe second shot is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMy Ruby Tuesday, have a nice day!

That second shot is such a happy accident - great movement!
ReplyDeleteWow, what marvelous shots! Happy Ruby Tuesday! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat angle for that first shot. I love your photo swirl :-) Those shots are often fun, even if not focused. All of the woodpeckers are such fun to watch. I'd really miss my downys if they ever went away!
