Downy Woodpecker

Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Delray Beach, Florida view map

I wish I had pushed up the ISO to give a bit more DOF...

This woodpecker nest was right next to the boardwalk at Wakodahatchee, and usually surrounded by photographers. It didn't seem to bother the parents though.

Since this photo was taken, the tree in the picture was destroyed by Hurricane Wilma.

He's got quite a bit of grub there! Good shot! Really sad that Wilma destroyed its nesting.
