What a sweet-looking little bird. I like that splash of orange, too. We have red-headed woodpeckers here but I have not an orange-tailed woodpecker anywhere! :)
We have Downeys here too. They love the suet feeders. We have the Hairy Woodpecker and I was going to post the sameness and the differences today but got sidetracked. They are the sweetest bird aren't they. MB
Your photos are so clear. I have never seen this bird before. It's a gorgeous bird. I like the black and white pattern on her head. It makes her look really mean!
Thanks for visiting my little corner of the world. I hope you enjoyed your stay here. Please leave a comment before you leave so I can visit your blog.
I love Downies! I have a pair that frequent my feeders. Terrific captures!
ReplyDeleteVery jealous of the variety of woodpeckers found in other parts of the world. In the UK we have just 3, one of which you never see.
ReplyDeleteThis is an absolute beauty!
ReplyDeleteOhh! She is nice. Super photo!

Pretty little bird - and I love the eyes they are full of expression - you have captured them well - Jane UK
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty! I love these birds, too. I never noticed orange on the tail feathers before. I'll have to look for that.
ReplyDeleteShe's such a pretty little creature EG, even if she does look a tad grumpy :)
ReplyDeleteShe's a sweetie. My parents have a pair that visit their suet feeders and they are quite tame - almost like chickadees.
ReplyDeleteI've had two pairs around here most of the winter. I hadn't noticed the orange on the females tail feathers though. Sweet photos CG.
ReplyDeleteThe downy woodpeckers are such beautiful birds. Great captures.
ReplyDeletelove the red bits on the tail. so neat!! ( :
ReplyDeleteA pretty little lady!
ReplyDeleteThe Downy is a cute little woodpecker. You have captured them beautifully :)
ReplyDeleteIt's like we could reach out and touch her! :)
ReplyDeleteLots a love for the woodpeckers, you have earned it, the prize EG.
ReplyDeleteAs many times as I've seen these birds, I've never before noticed they had these colored tail feathers. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour bird photos are always so clear, detailed and so very charming. You should frame some of them and offer for prizes. . .hint! hint!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little bird.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the Downies as well. I have never noticed that orange on the tail feathers.
ReplyDeleteis this a baby bird, you are very observant to see the orang feathers.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous coloring!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful even in B&W colors!
ReplyDeleteHI Lovely to have this little bird at your feeder.
ReplyDeleteOh what a sweet little bird!
ReplyDeleteI don't think we have downies here. I'll have to look in some of our bird books to be sure. She sure is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteWe have Downeys here too. They love the suet feeders. We have the Hairy Woodpecker and I was going to post the sameness and the differences today but got sidetracked. They are the sweetest bird aren't they. MB
