I have always admired the fierce determination and intense focus of little Downy Woodpeckers (Picoides pubescens) as they hammer away at the trees in search of something to eat, like this beauty that I spotted this past Monday at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

He does have a determined look about him. Great photo, Mike.
Beautiful portrait. I love being able to see all of the details on this woodpecker. Downy Woodpeckers are regular visitors to my bird feeders so they have become one of my favourites.
Nice shot!
