Birds fascinate me! This little guy - a downy woodpecker - just pecked away at the suet and wasn't bothered by me at all.
After I downloaded the shot I saw that I got him with his tongue sticking out. How neat is that? A reminder that if you are looking for Nature themed gifts -

ReplyDeleteWhen I say the small version of your photo of today, I thought it was a painting! But going here I saw it looks that way because the setting for the background -I love it, very cute!
WOW!! You couldn't have gotten a better picture. Fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture! We have these beauties here in winter too but I never can see them so close up--thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy RT!

ReplyDeleteKerri, wonderful shots of the Downy woodie. They are so cute.
ReplyDeleteThe woodpeckers are one of my all time favorites.. I love that little downy...and they can be loud to be so small... It's marvelous.
ReplyDeleteI really like woodpeckers...this guy's a real beauty! What an amazingly wonderful photo this is! :) I don't think I've ever seen a bird "tongue!"

Oh, very well captured!
ReplyDeleteTo actually have caught his tongue sticking out of this mouth - very cool catch.
Oh, what a beauty! Well done! And congrats on POTW mention!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S a first! I don't believe I've ever seen a Downy tongue! How cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the chances of catching a red headed woodpecker with it's tiny little tongue peeking out? It was meant to be!
