This downy woodpecker is one of the first I’ve seen this spring. She appeared to be considering how to approach the job of searching for insects.

Beautiful…. how do you manage to get them so sharp… me and birds do not mix… By the time I’ve focussed in… they’ve flown away 😀 😀 😀

Thank you. There are a lot of factors, including shutter speed, aperture and ISO and a measure of luck 😏.
Have a look at continuous focus on your camera.

Thank you. Until they settle down to feed they are a challenge to photograph.

And taking advantage of the shade. The temps are way above average right now.

Wow! Our high today was supposed to be 10, but it only got to 8. This is not the usual for May.

I am in awe of the number of clear woodpecker photographs you manage to get every year. This one certainly looks speculative 🙂
