Description The downy woodpecker, himself not much bigger than a blossom, looks for his mate while resting in the magnolia tree. He's a bit worn out from courtship, but who can blame him? His mate is very cute! They met in my garden, in Kansas City Kansas, USA. Photo taken in soft sunlight, 3/23/12.

I feed these with suet. Have you saw
the mate feeding the other? This is so
special to watch.

I feed them suet also, Bill, and yes, it is a gift to watch them court.

NO, it was prints as many of the shots we wanted were not available in card format... Send me your private e-mail by a note and I will send you a copy of the DA order...

Well...... to say a "regal photo" would not put it correctly....
It really is "majestic".... this beautiful little creature is very regal her/himself... and the surounding "kingdom" is fabulous....
... to you Rene.....

The kingdom will only look thus for a moment. Glad you got to see him in it while it lasted! I cut the branch where he is standing in advance, to give him a little stump to stand on. Glad he took the hint!
