The claws on the feet of a downy woodpecker are remarkable. I am not sure while the bird just hung on the side of the post but he stayed there for a long time. A tree bark is textured so I can understand how they can cling to the side of a tree but being on the smooth wood was a surprise to me. Eventually he crawled up to get to the suet feeder.

He's a handsome fellow, too!
I have never seen their claws so clearly. Amazing!
I'll be taking a short blog break but I'll be checking in with you.
YOu two have a good week.
Everything about nature is amazing, everything for a reason. The great designer knew what he was doing, methinks.
