Amazing! Like Debbie asked, how did you achieve this photo? (Woodpeckers and Flickers are typically shy birds.)
Nina Stavlund replied:
We believe these birds learn by watching Black-capped Chickadees hand feeding. We know about 2 Downy's coming to the hand here in Ottawa, and we are just as surprised every time they approach us. The woodpecker is in my husbands hand, and it was his very first time hand feeding one, so I had to work fast when the woody came in ready for a snack.
