Downy Woodpecker -07
Mission Creek downstream from Gordon Bridge, Kelowna, BC.
While pursuing the BAGOs the other day (in vain) I came across this little fella on the south side of the creek. I'm not really happy with the results. Because he was busily pecking, I set the shutter speed higher than I probably needed to. For this shot, taken last, he was quite still and I should have adjusted my setting for better clarity. I hope I get a chance to work with him again; I see downies in this stretch of the creek every winter, not usually as open as he was here, however. Oh well!
