Birds in Our Yard: Downy Woodpecker
I started this post toward the end of last month, and I'm sick today, so I thought it'd be a good time to post it. By the way, I hate being sick when the weather is so gloriously sunny and warm outside. :(
Last month when my younger children and I were walking through a little forest of beaked hazelnut trees in our yard, we came upon this energetic and interesting little bird. I think it's a downy woodpecker, the smallest type of woodpecker we have in Washington state.

Very cute! I miss my woodpeckers. We had a ton when I lived in Mississippi. In Toronto all I get in my yard is blackbirds, robins, sparrows and squirrels. While I think all birds are nice... some are just more exciting than others. :)
ReplyDeleteWe don't see them much, but hear them often.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE downies and have a couple of pairs that come to my feeders filled with shelled peanuts. I didn't know they lived on the other side of the Rockies too!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say that I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little guy! Hope you feel better - not fun to be sick in the summer!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by yesterday. Although I have a gardening blog on Wordpress, I needed another platform to share all the critters who visit my garden, Hope you'll drop by again....
