A Downy Woodpecker at the feeder. There have been several Downies visiting Tigs feeding Station! Lol!

Used the Canon ef70-300 IS USM lens and postwork done in Corel Paint Shop Pro X, and photofiltre.

I'm taking a couple days vacation and tomorrow Donna (dustycat) and I are heading to Grand Rapids, Michigan to explore this this neat looking place and to check out their extensive butterfly exhibit. Supposed to be the biggest in the nation. No tripods or monopods are allowed so I hope the IS comes through for me, and hopefully the weather will be good enough to explore the nature trails too. It will be a long day and I will catch up on my comments upon my return later in the day.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

I'd get acid reflux big time if I tried eating in that position. LOL. Excellent shot again, Sandi. It's a comical shot, too. Very nice.

Looks like you and Dusty are going to have a great time Tigz. Maybe you can bring home some bugs for Woody. Either that or let Buzz Lightyear keep him company. Great shot and enjoy your outing.

This is really spectacular, Sandi! Wonderful clarity, colours, DOF, and composition! I really love the colours in the background which makes the woodpecker really standout!

Hope you have a great time at Meijer Gardens! Looking forward to seeing what you bring back :)
