Downy Woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens)

A fabulous study, Scott.

Hi Scott!

This Woodpecker is a Downy Woodpecker not a Red-bellied Woodpecker.
A great image of this Downy guy!

Thanks, I suck at bird ID

amazing capture.

Lovely capture of this little beaut! tfs!

Nicely done, thanks for sharing it with us.

By the way

Our new Bird Forum/Opus system searches the Gallery by the information contained in the tags placed with an image.

Even if the information is in the title, it needs to be tagged. The most important tags are Common Name, Scientific Name, and Location.

It is the presence of these tags that will allow searchers to find and enjoy your most beautiful images. I'm sure you would be disappointed should someone happen to miss seeing one, or more, of them simply because no tags were present.

Your assistance in making this happen by placing tags on your uploaded images will be appreciated very much.
