Look what showed up at our feeder on Monday. I have not seen one of these for years. I knew they were probably out there but they don't show up in town.
I definitely can see that the the downey woodpecker is much smaller than this guy. I had heard a woodpecker working out in my silver maple tree on Sunday. The pecking was loud and I thought then that it surely wasn't a downey woodpecker. It was too loud for that small of bird, but I just let it go. I was glad to see him grab a chunk of suet from the cake and fly off into a tree.

What a wonderful Christmas surprise and such a lovely bird, too. Our woodpeckers are quite dowdy by comparison.
Beautiful!
Wishing you both a Merry Christmas.
A familiar sight and sound from childhood. Remember the cartoon character Woody the Woodpecker?
Wow, what a cute little guy. His red head makes a festive photo, for the season!...
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Larry...
