Downy Woodpecker on lichen-covered tree
A couple of days ago, I called in at Fish Creek Park to see if there was any sign of the Long-tailed Weasel. It did come out, but for maybe five minutes, running around. I managed to get two or three shots, but that was all. This little Downy Woodpecker made up for it, though, perching so nicely on such a beautiful, lichen-covered tree trunk. Normally, I would probably have cropped the image to square, but I couldn't bring myself to losing any of the vibrant orange.
"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." From AllAbout Birds.
