Life Among the Leaves

This is a downy woodpecker, Dryobates pubescens. I captured this image a couple of years ago and was thrilled when the bird ventured closer than they usually do in this area.

"This image captures a lively scene of a downy woodpecker, perched delicately on a slender tree branch. The bird's feathers are striking in their contrast—a deep black cloak adorned with specks of white along its wings and back, resembling intricate patterns. Its head features a vivid patch of red at the crown, a striking splash of color that adds to its charm. The bird's face is adorned with bold black lines framing its bright white cheeks, giving it a sharp yet curious expression. Its beak, slender and pointed, is poised for action as if it's ready to tap into the bark in search of insects.

The background is a soft blur of earthy greens and browns, suggesting a tranquil natural setting, perhaps a forest or wooded area. This muted backdrop makes the bird's features pop beautifully, drawing attention to the details of its plumage and form. It's a scene that feels both lively and serene, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this agile creature." - Copilot

It's a soggy day to be a woodpecker, but our downies accept the weather with aplomb.

When I wake up in the mornings, I always pull back my curtains a bit for a live weather check. If there's activity at the bird feeder outside my window, then even better. Today I watched a downy woodpecker having breakfast. Not the one captured in the photo, but it felt like this sweet little bird would be a good subject for today's #WildlifeWednesday.

Two much lower quality photos of downy woodpeckers (I think) in my yard this month.

Among the Branches

I caught sight of a downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens) perched high in a distant forest tree. These woodpeckers are somewhat elusive in this area, though I do occasionally get a close look at one in my backyard—although not recently.

"The image portrays a serene scene where a downy woodpecker perches on a bare tree branch. The tree has minimal foliage, with just a few green leaves scattered on the branches. The woodpecker, though small and subtly blending into the natural surroundings, takes center stage amidst a backdrop of other tree trunks and a clear blue sky.' - Copilot"This image features a close-up of a downy woodpecker perched gracefully on a tree branch. The bird's striking black and white feathers are complemented by a vivid red patch on the crown of its head, giving it a dash of color. The tree branch is textured and speckled with patches of lichen, adding an organic charm to the scene. The blurred background ensures all focus remains on the woodpecker, which is the centerpiece of this composition. There’s a professional touch evident in this image, as it’s signed with "© Swede's Photographs" in the lower right corner. The balance of detail and simplicity in the shot creates an elegant display of nature’s beauty." - Copilot

It's a windy day out there, and the birds are happy to use the apple tree as a rest stop between adventures.

She cautiously approached the little birds’ peanut basket*, and took a peanut and quickly flew away.

* I crocheted it for little birds, using the flimsy supermarket’s plastic produce bags last winter.

A stunning little black and white bird is sitting on the white railing of the kitchen door landing, deep in thought.
