Hurt downy woodpecker?
The link above is a video I took about 30 mins ago (9:10) a.m. of this downy woodpecker acting strange. He comes to my yard everyday, multiple times a day and I have never seen him not only act like this but nor have I seen his feathers ruffled up like that. I don't know how long he's been sitting there, I found him like that when I woke up but he sat there for at least 15 mins from the time that I saw him at least. He flew away eventually but I'm not sure what to do if there even is anything I can do. I don't want to scare him by grabbing him because my yard is a little sanctuary for him but I don't want something to happen to him either. I'm hoping he'll come back later today.1000007580.jpg
