Today, near the feeders

This female Downy Woodpecker was resting on the lilac tree between visits to the Woodpecker seed block.
It was a very snowy day and I think she was enjoying the sun shining on her for a few minutes.

I enhanced the shot in Picasa with "boost" and "HDRish"

  1. One cold day today...I'm sure she appreciated that bit of sun.

  2. I don't have 'boost' and "HDRish" in my Picasa account! What do they do?

  3. I know I would have liked the sun a bit more today too!! We have a cold night here in Virginia, and I hope those feathered friends are finding a warm place to roost.

  4. I love those little creatures, Elaine. They're so sweet and the sounds that they make are unique to them alone.

  5. Heather, I believe it's Picasa 10. I just downloaded it to my laptop last weekend and there were several new features. Great fun!

  6. Absolutely beautiful. Today was 12 degrees, almost a spring day if you ask me. - Margy

  7. Elaine- I love the Downy woodpeckers- I think they are one of my favorites! You've captured a beautiful image! ( I could just sit and watch the birds feed all day!)
    Love
