Downy Woodpecker

Downy Woodpeckers are very quick, almost as quick as a White Breasted Nuthatch, Goldfinch, or even a Black-Capped Chickadee.  At times I wonder if the world appreciates these creatures as much as I do, and at others I don't care because I'm continuing to practice taking shots in different scenarios and gaining more and more experience.

This photo would be another exercise in contrasts, as the colors are vibrant, and the background somewhat muted.
