[Leica] IMG: Downy Woodpecker

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for looking and commenting, Douglas.  Most of our woodpeckers 
with which I am familiar sport color combinations of black, white, gray 
and red in various patterns.  Occasionally the gray becomes yellow, as 
in the Yellow-Bellied Sap Sucker.

I'm cheating this year with the camera setup.  I removed a screen and 
raised a storm pane, so I can raise the window sash and have an open 
shot into the back yard.  It becomes a fixed, but comfortable blind, 
complete with tripod and cable release.  However, the field of view is 
somewhat limited.
