Downy Woodpecker Video

This woodpecker let me use the flash and didn't fly away. The pictures are high quality so you can click on them to see every feather. We probably have posted enough downy woodpecker pictures, so we've moved on to videos. See Downy Woodpecker Video (Quicktime)

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and Woodpecker

The sapsucker actually had a lot of company in this tree today. At one point there were three other woodpeckers. They were never all close enough for me to get a good shot, but at least I got these two together. I am not sure if the woodpecker is a hairy or downy, but it is a female since there is no red on the head. My guess is it's a hairy based on the size of the bill.

This pair of Red Bellied Woodpeckers came by the morning of the great backyard bird count.
