Woodpecker in our backyard. We haven’t seen him in a while, but we hear him, or his feathered friends, around the greenbelt and neighborhood. #BirdOfTheDay #BlackAndRed #woodpecker #bird #feathers #katytx #Pentax_us

Downy woodpecker feeding on a crape Myrtle in Katy, Texas. He is heard often in our neighborhood as we have a number of dead trees due to drought and storm damage. Pentax K3 III and Pentax 60-250 at ISO 5000 for 1/1000 at f7.1. EV +0.7

My favorite little downy #woodpecker with his sweet red heart. ❤️ He's a regular sight at the feeders in the fall and winter. #BirdOfTheDay #Black&Red #Birds #ECK #NaturePhotography

A downy woodpecker with his white spotted black wings, white belly, and a black "T" on his nape with a sweet red heart on the back of his head grasps a suet cage while he grabs a bite. Soft pink and purple in the background. This little guy has been a resident for a few years.

...this gorgeous fella stopped by today, and from the sounds he made, seemed amused and happy 😉😉 #RedBellied #Woodpecker #Autumn #backyard #EastCoastKin

It's time to slow down and admire some pretty things. Today: a red-bellied woodpecker eating suet

Hybrid Animal Artober Day 3: Acorn Lungfish

A hybrid animal based on Episode 120 of the Just the Zoo of Us Podcast, which features the Acorn Woodpecker and the West African Lungfish.

#artober #animalartober #woodpecker #lungfish

Pencil drawing of a hybrid Acorn Woodpecker and West African Lungfish. The creature has the body and the long pointed front fins of a lungfish with the head of a woodpecker. The creature is holding an acorn in its beak.
Coloring has been digitally painted and is inspired by a mix of the referenced animals with a grey, speckled body blending into the speckled chin and white face of the woodpecker. The face has the coloring of an acorn woodpecker with a red cap on its head and dark panda-like markings around the yellow color-popping eyes and dark front fins. The beak is also dark and holds the naturally brown colored acorn.
The drawing is on top of a pale green halftone patterned circle that was digitally added to the drawing.

Close up of the torso and face of the hybrid woodpecker-lungfish. The coloring slightly richer than in the full view image.

This little female downy woodpecker was really wrestling with the bird feeder today to get at every last morsel.

A couple of more #Black&White images for #BirdOfTheDay from last year. As I was sitting on my deck wasting the day away fiddling with the settings on my camera I decided to try a few B&W images.

Haven't even processed all my photos from this month but I quite liked these, with one showing a yard visitor who has a unique look. The downy woodpeckers usually have a pure black patch atop their heads, but the one on the right showed speckles!
