112/365 Hairy Woodpecker




This photo was actually taken last month, but I didn’t get a chance to use it!
This is Mr. Hairy Woodpecker, taking a few pecks at the suet out in the backyard.
The Hairy and Downy woodpeckers are very similar, but you can tell them apart by their size.  The Downy is about 2-3 inches smaller.

  3. For a moment there, I thought you had named your friend. :D

    I don't recall seeing a bird like that around these parts, though. It's a cool looking bird, that's for sure.
