At first you do not see it, but if you enlarge the image you will see that this Downy Woodpecker has found a cluster of praying mantis eggs. You might say that they were worth hanging around for.
You have a very keen eye Garrett. This photo is wonderful of the Downy Woodpecker and the eggs are an added bonus. (It's a shame to lose the praying mantis's though, considering someone lost their head over the deal.)
That just gies to show you that you sure have the eyes for detail and this is one capture that shows just that Garrett .Plus this is a first fir me as never seen mantis eggs in my life and what a lovely bird as well .
