This Downy Woodpecker was hammering away with it's pointed bill, making a hole in this tree. A closer look at the head shows the eye covered by the nictitating membrane. The translucent nictitating membrane helps to moisten the eye as well as offer protection.

This Downy Woodpecker (f) was busy excavating a hole the tree along side a busy walking path and didn't seem to mind the attention from passersby.

"Roving Reporter Rich Border here, STOP TYPING, I'M BROADCASTING! This reporter has just discovered that Cormornant Construction has filed for Chapter Eleven bankruptcy and will cease construction immediately on what would have been a third bridge over the Tacoma Narrows, to my horror I witnessed many of the employees dive off of the unfinished structure into the cold deep waters below upon receiving the news.
Flybynight construction has stated that it will pick up where their failed competitor left off but only if the state comes up with a large deposit first, nothing from Olympia on that. In the meantime, WISDOT has stated that without the competition of the third bridge they will be raising the toll on the Gig Harbor side and adding a new one for those attempting to leave Tacoma. We now return you to Heidi, already in progress..."

PS - to all of my good Flickr friends, please be patient with me as I post all of these gosh-darn birds! I'm still enjoying the new lens…but when spring finally blooms I'll move on to something else:)
Captured in: Duck, NC.
Seen here is a pair of Ospreys starting construction on a new nest. This couple was building on a platform near the shoreline of the Currituck Sound in Duck, NC.
The male was patrolling the shoreline in search of a meal and some construction to continue work on the nest.
This time of year it's not uncommon for the nests to be housing Osprey chicks, as breeding season is from March to May in the Carolinas.
