Cute, Compact, and Contrasted

Downy Woodpecker - February 25th, 2017
Walnut Woods State Park, Iowa – February 25th, 2017, Canon T3i & Tamron 150-600mm

I love how this tiny, Downy Woodpecker contrasts with his surroundings. The leaves are gone, leaving behind a mottled, brown background. This is not a shot I could have taken during the summer because of the leaves. Knowing this area, I would not have been able to see him at all.
