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.
Canatara Park, Sarnia, ON
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.

"CONSTRUCTION" - SOTN Challenge #66

"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..."
Sulawesi,
Tongkonan ist das traditionelle Ahnenhaus, rumah adat (indonesisch: traditionelles Haus) der Toraja, einem Volk auf der Insel Sulawesi, Indonesien. Tongkonans haben ein aus mehreren Bambusschichten bestehendes Dach in einer schiffsähnlichen Form. Wie für Indonesiens austronesische traditionelle Architektur typisch, werden Tongkonans auf Holzpfählen errichtet. Traditionell haben bei den Toraja nur die Adligen das Recht, Tongkonans zu bauen. Einfache Leute leben in kleineren und weniger aufwendigen Banua genannten Häusern.
Tongkonan is the traditional ancestral house, or rumah adat of the Torajan people, in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Tongkonan have a distinguishing boat-shaped and oversized saddleback roof. Like most of Indonesia’s Austronesian-based traditional architecture tongkonan are built on piles. The construction of tongkonan is laborious work and it is usually built with the help of all family members or friends. In the original Toraja society, only nobles had the right to build tongkonan.

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.

"New Construction" is a non-HDR image that was processed in ACR, and later finished in Photoshop.
Ps processing also includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Adjust, Denoise AI, Glow, Impression and Sharpen AI.
Not really sure what these guys are doing here. Looks like they are either putting in some framing for small windows, or they are taking a break. I just thought it was a cool pic.
