Downy Woodpecker, Cell Phone Pictures


Yesterday I was relaxing in a comfortable chair on my back deck. Charlie was lying on the floor nearby. Several birds flew up to the railing but flew away as soon as they saw us. The downy woodpecker, however, stayed around long enough that I could get pictures of it using my iPhone.

    With patience you can get them to eat from your hand.
