Field Notes

Description:

Ready for take off: Male Downy Woodpecker with friends during unusual October snowstorm that produces 12.5 inches in the Poconos. (Taken 20 ft. away thru glass door) I think the other birds are male and female tufted titmouse birds.

Habitat:

Deck/bird feeder

Lovely. I have never seen a woodpecker come to a feeder before. He must have been just as surprised by the snow as the humans!
