I finally have some woodpeckers coming around my yard . She was hanging around and finally came close enough for a couple of pics. I am quite pleased with these shots . The first is full frame and the second is just slightly cropped. As always thanks for looking .

She is cute. She looks like she's posing in the second one.

Amazing detail for a small, distant bird...

Mind telling which lens you got this with? I'm shopping for one and could use the lead...

I've seen Downy's often, but never managed shots like these. Well done, Chris.

Fabulous shots..

I've had a male downy visiting one of my sunflower seed feeders for a few weeks now. Whenever I sneak out to photograph it, the darn thing flies away :(

Nice pair of shots. I like the combination of detail in the bird and bokeh.

These are excellent shots. :)

The lens I use for everything is the 100-400L

Must be addicting. I find myself doing the same thing. Many days all I leave the house with is the camera with the 100-400L on it. :D
