THANK YOU ALL!
Donna, I didn't find him there. It's a composit. I shoot the birds at my feeder and place them in a more suitable background. It takes far less patience and luck.

Nice photo and congrats on the win. Now I hope you rewarded him with some peanuts after he posed so nicely for you. ;-) #3669909

Ron Jones December 05, 2006

Thanks, Donna.
Lis, this little fellow has made a bit of money for me in print sales. I'm very sure to keep plenty of suet in the feeder for him and his friends.
Thanks for your comment.

Colleen Farrell December 09, 2006

That reminds me--I need to buy suet! I never see downy woodpeckers, although we have them around here. We get lots of the big acorn woodpeckers. ANYWAY, this is a terrific photo--you always capture our feathered friends so beautifully. Congratulations on your well-deserved win! #3684828

Ron Jones December 09, 2006

Thanks, Colleen.
All kinds of woodpeckers are attracted to suet; hairy, downey and redbellied.
