Click photo to view it full-size in a new window.When my digital photography instructor saw my "downy woodpecker" photos, he told me, and another birder student confirmed, that all of my woodpeckers are hairys and not downys. My woodpeckers are a smidgin bigger than a robin. Downys are apparently the size of nuthatches.
I will be correcting all of my tags, labels, and posts as time goes on. When clicked, this photo will open, full size, in a new window.

Hairy woodpeckers??? I think I prefer downy or even feathery. However, I realised it's the type of woodpecker we're talking about here.
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't you happy with your photos? I think they're great...and the woodpecker doesn't care...he's more interested in his loot.
Hope all is well in your world, Andree.
I really like these photos and they look great as a series. I think its wonderful to be able to see a moment like this and to capture it on film. Downy or hairy, ours in the UK are all lesser or greater, but the patterning in all of them is very similar....
ReplyDeleteWhat nice pictures ! We have one woodpecker here around I can hear it but never saw it !
ReplyDeleteI think those photos are gorgeous! Maybe his name is Harry.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the "he" is a she?
