Winter Woods Birds

Even the Sudbury River near Carmel Terrace was frozen on Saturday! We did manage to get some pretty active Downy woodpecker action in the woods on the steep river bank, though.

Not quite sure why he's going into the black hole. (Black hole! Pretty funny, huh?)

You don't see them like this everyday! He's flying straight up from one branch to another!

He is peeking at something through the branches. I love the black and white eye ring - it gives him such a sweet looking expression.

Tom managed to capture this White-breasted Nuthatch. He also snapped a shot of a Red-breasted Nuthatch, but it was too blurry to post. I never even saw the guy!

  2. Great shots of the Downy! I had one of these in my yard last week, though I didn't see any black holes...
