A Dusting of snow today!
It seems I finally got a picture of the female Downy woodpecker…they sure love the Peanut butter! ~~
Picoides pubescens
~
Downy Woodpeckers readily visit backyard feeders where suet and peanut butter are offered.
The smallest and most common American woodpecker, the Downy Woodpecker is found throughout most of North America from Alaska to Florida. It lives in a variety of habitats from wilderness forests to urban backyards, and comes readily to bird feeders.

Very good the photographs and the comment in post, also I like a lot the snow that falls dense!
Some great snow shots.
Downy woodpeckers are so pretty. You've really caught that one in a nice snowfall. I have a tree face just like the one you show. Aren't they neat!!
