Gina Blank<p>When I wake up in the mornings, I always pull back my curtains a bit for a live weather check. If there's activity at the bird feeder outside my window, then even better. Today I watched a downy woodpecker having breakfast.

Woman of Many HatsWhen I was in our mudroom, I saw the most unexpected sight; a downy woodpecker was hanging on and looking into my house. Well, this was a first. <br> <br> They're not great photos by any means, but they captured a rare moment, so I thought I'd share them with you. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.apobangpo.art/discover/tags/downywoodpecker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#downywoodpecker</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.apobangpo.art/discover/tags/woodpecker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodpecker</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.apobangpo.art/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.apobangpo.art/discover/tags/birds?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.apobangpo.art/discover/tags/birdphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.apobangpo.art/discover/tags/wildlife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.apobangpo.art/discover/tags/wildlifephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlifephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.apobangpo.art/discover/tags/birding?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birding</a>
