Downy Woodpecker

Last week was not a great week for taking pictures with heavy gray overcast, snow flurries and several days of 20 - 30 mph winds.  I still managed to get enough random pictures for all the posts for this week.  I really need some great, sunny days with lots of bird activity to build up my files since I need to send my camera lens in for some needed repairs.  Not only does it need to be cleaned and tightened but I've lost the auto focus in the 50 - 125 mm range.  I still have my other lens but the Sigma 50-500mm one is my favorite.
