Photo of the Day! Downy Woodpecker

Nikon D7000, Nikkor 500mm f/4 AFS, SB-600 fill flash @ ISO 400, f/8, 1/1250

This downy woodpecker was photographed a few weeks ago long with 12-15 of her buddies. The sheer number of woodpeckers was very helpful to get the shot. I'd like to thank John Nelson again for letting us use his backyard feeders. This was a really amazing set up and experience!

This male downy woodpecker was one of an amazing 12-15 downy woodpeckers at this particular feeding station in southeast Minnesota. We didn't plan on photographing woodpeckers but when a cooperative bunch like this stops by, we were ready!
