Nose to the grindstone


What a difference a change in the weather can make as far as wildlife sightings goes. With the absence of wind this morning, ducks were much more in evidence on the water, and birds were plentiful in the trees, including this Downy Woodpecker which I heard before I saw. He was moving so quickly up and down and around the tree, it was hard to get an unblurry shot. Notice his feet, how they are able to cling to the bark of the tree while he pecks and pokes with his bill.

  1. as usual, its difficult to determine which of the photos is my favourite of the last couple of days. In addition to the pleasure of seeing the birds and critters up close, its Lois' commentary that captures my attention!cheers, k
