From last year. Seems I haven't been able to get off the soccer fields so far this season. (Lots of good soccer shots though).

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

Robert, this is a downy woodpecker. A male at that. The males have the little red patch on the back of thier head and the females don't. Otherwise they look about the same. I caught this little guy at the end of last summer and was surprised at how close he let me get and also that he stayed close to the ground.

Thanks Rob. I must have seen a photo of one once before and I couldn’t place it, which was driving me nuts :-)

You never can tell what a bird will do when you approach them can you?

I envy those who can get such good bird shots. Very nice clarity and composition! Have fun with soccer.
