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.
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>
