As I've said before, you just never know what you might see at our cottage. Today's post features the beautiful Downy Woodpecker. As you can see, this female has learned that the hummingbird feeder is a great place for a sweet drink.


The woodpeckers also enjoy the peanuts we put out on the railing. Here the male is helping himself.

In the next several shots you see an adult (l) feeding the youth (r). Although he's adult sized, this 'big baby' cries for his food and is quite persistent until he's fed!
