Clinging effortlessly to a suet feeder, this male Downy Woodpecker shows off his striking black-and-white plumage and signature red patch. A bit of suet still clings to his beak as he pauses mid-bite. This close-up highlights both the bird’s delicate features and its rugged determination — a common, yet always captivating, guest in the backyard.

"Cracklin' Crane" by Patti Deters. A Sandhill Crane (Antigone canadensis) forages for bits of seeds in a rural field of cut hay. The haybales provide a bit of protection for the lone bird.

"Hairy Woodpecker at Sax-Zim" by Patti Deters. A Hairy Woodpecker (Picoides villosus) clings to the textured bark of a pine tree in the boreal forest of Sax-Zim Bog in northern Minnesota, USA. The bird's striking black-and-white plumage, accented by a vivid red patch on its head, creates a striking contrast against the earthy tones of the tree. Its sharp beak is perfectly adapted for pecking into the wood in search of insects, while its sturdy claws and stiff tail feathers provide stability as it navigates the rough surface. Often confused with the downy woodpecker, Picidae is larger overall, has a longer and thicker beak, and the white outer tail feathers are completely white, rather than spotted. Thank you for viewing this vertical image, it is also available with a painterly background at the link below.

Red-Bellied woodpecker - Pennsylvania

There are over two hundred species of woodpecker and two species of wrynecks worldwide. Of these, three species of woodpecker and one species of wryneck are found in the UK.

This is a great spotted woodpecker. About blackbird-sized and striking black-and-white. It has a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer. Its presence is often announced by its loud call or by its distinctive spring 'drumming' display. The male has a distinctive red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown.

This image was taken at Scottish Photography Hides, in Dumfries and Galloway. It is totally wild, only encouraged to the feeder with food. Our hide was about 50ft away.
