Just sitting out in the yard with my soft drink, listening to the bird songs from the trees around me. Who showed up? Female Downy Woodpecker.

But the real show happened a short time later. I am thrilled that my phone captures such good video, silently.

I love the sounds they make, both their wheezing call, and the flapping of their wings as they fly from feeder to fence and back. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time!
