Downy Woodpecker

First he showed me the back of his head. Little did he know, I was glad to see that red spot.

Then he flitted one way, and then the other. These were taken at the Spring City Park.

Downy Woodpecker at Veterans Park

I heard a loud woodpecker off in the distance, was trying to locate it when I saw this one above me. He was almost making no noise at all as he went to work. Even as I photographed him I could barely hear him. I just snapped away while he worked at getting those bugs.

The one above is just a little blurred around his head, he was moving fast, as woodpeckers do, and I had my camera set on 1/160 of a second. A little slow for birding, but it did ok. I did change the setting and continued to photograph him.

And then he was gone!

Woodpecker at Lake Seminole Park

These photos of a Woodpecker were taken at Lake Seminole Park in Seminole, Florida. I took the 1st photo of the woodpecker and then he moved. I had to walk down a ways to find a place I could cross the creek to get a view of him again. Then he was hid by the branches.
He did finally move just a little, but I like the 1st photo the best.
