Friendly little birds.

The weather is overcast today, but I still managed to see some birds flying around. I was able to get close to use my 70-200, which is the longest thing I have right now. I know very little about birds and would like to know what these are if you happen to know. Thanks for looking!

Wow, you were lucky to get so close. Beautiful, sharp shot.

Thanks! I was very lucky. I think this guy was about 4 inches tall.

Nice composition of a Downy. This one is quite a bit darker/browner in the breast, underparts and in head ( stripes) than I am used to. Generally they are quite white in those areas...perhaps he needs a bath;) In any case, a nice capture of the smallest of our woodpeckers.

Very nice capture Chris, very sharp image.

Thanks Garry. It's been raining a lot lately and I barely got this shot off before it started raining again. Maybe he's been playing in the mud? :)
