These pictures were taken on October 19th in our back yard. The juvenile starts out with a black head which slowly turns red. On this guy you can just see a bit of red starting to show up on his head.

Downy Woodpecker, male

These pictures were taken on October 19th, 2009 in our back yard. Actually I took these pictures from inside our solarium, through the window. This little guy decided to pay us a visit and perched on the outside of our house. These shots aren't quite as sharp as I would like them to be, but that's what happens when you shoot under adverse conditions with a birch tree in the background, but he was too cute not to take his picture.
