Downy Woodpecker.

It's been at least two or three years since any woodpeckers at all have been here, despite the fact that they're native to the area in the winter.  And that last time was in June or July, completely out of season.

More casualties of climate change.

He parked himself overhead in the aspen closest to the door and went to work.  He was willing to stop and listen to me greet him, and willing to have his photo taken.

This little guy is the first.  He may be the only.  But I'm glad he's back.
