This shot of this Downy Woodpecker was shot at Nature Preserve this past week. I used my 70-300 zoom lens set at 300mm. Shutter was set at 1/2000. Aperture set at F/5.6 and ISO 800.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Hi Gerry, Great Shot again, The bird is beautiful and the capture is great, It looks like he is hovering next to the tree because he is not holding himself on the tree with his legs but only with his beak!
Very well done!
Nick
Please know that I enjoy your work even though I don't always get to comment. I try to look at (and enjoy) all your new posts and always appreciate the time you take to stop in at my gallery as well. Have a happy day ;) Anita
Do I get a prize for spotting that 'he' is a 'she';o) Did she get into trouble getting her beak stuck and swinging to get it free?;ŽO A superb close-up capture and worthy of a place on my desktop.
Cheers,
Steve.
