Downy Woodpecker, Always Moving!

I love woodpeckers of all kinds. But for me. while they are really fascinating, they are difficult subjects to photograph. They are always in motion, seeming to never remain still. I watched this Downy Woodpecker for a little while as it searched for food in the tree. I would shoot when it seemed to be in a spot free of all the branches and twigs. Fortunately, I got some shots that I could use. This is one of them.

Nikon COOLPIX P900
1/1000s f/5.6 at 143.0mm iso450 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Good catch of this guy. Like you said, holding still is not their forte.

Very nice, Vern. They are such sweet little birds.

Love the bird and the lichen- and moss-encrusted branches. Your image gives a great sense of being in habitat, and you've handled that bright background well.

Very striking capture of this woodpecker! The diagonals of the branches give it a dynamic feeling.
