February 2010 (Explore on Dec 19, 2011) Deep in the archives... I finally got around to editing some of these pictures taken at Fort Whyte... This Downy Woodpecker was quite photographic on this day, giving me a number of opportunities to get a decent shot... Please press "L" to see the larger lightbox version for more detail and contrast... 400mm - ISO 400 - F8 - 1/640th

The active little Downy Woodpecker is a familiar sight at backyard feeders and in parks and woodlots, where it joins flocks of chickadees and nuthatches, barely outsizing them. An often acrobatic forager, this black-and-white woodpecker is at home on tiny branches or balancing on slender plant galls, sycamore seed balls, and suet feeders. Downies and their larger lookalike, the Hairy Woodpecker, are one of the first identification challenges that beginning bird watchers master.
