So I was inside, behind glass doors (it is in the teens here) shooting birds at the feeder when this guy came into my vision flying directly in from off property. He never landed at the feeder - I collected two shots 1/100 sec apart and the second frame is devoid of birds. If I hadn't had my finger on the shutter I would have missed this. Note that the background is ice on the river and snow everywhere.
Is this a downy woodpecker? I haven't seen one of these at my feeder this winter. Nice shot!
Yep, looks like a Downey. Great shot, even if a little fuzzy.
