The Downy Woodpecker is a great little feeder bird. It's not as striking as its larger counterpart, the hairy woodpecker but it's the sort of bird that will, if you're careful, let you get incredibly close looks at it while it's feeding on suet, giving you wonderful opportunity for some amazing detailed looks, such as this one.

Great picture! I love the downies for their friendliness and they stay around all summer so you can get a good look at the babies when their parents bring them to the feeders.
