Post your Bird Portraits

An unexpected guest shows up at the feeder station this afternoon having a nice Thanksgiving day feast, and allowing me to try a few snaps. A downy woodpecker.

Was actually looking at the chickadees on the other side of the hook when this little fella poked his head out from the back of the suet so tried to sneak my way around for a slightly better angle

Such a colorful shot! Downys are always a nice treat! We get inundated by downys, hairys (less frequently), and Northern Flickers when it gets cold and the suet is plentiful. I've seen a couple of pileated woodpeckers visit but they are much more shy and prefer to stay in the larger trees behind my property.

Nice shot, cool birds! It not showing happens to me a lot and to correct it, I choose the next size down (2000w to 1600w) and it usually posts the pic then. Maybe it will work for you, too.

Thank you. I already am at 1600 wide. Was working fine but lately some show and some do not. Only on this site.

Same here, only lately has it happened. It usually works for me if I switch the size back and forth and, on the 2nd, or 3rd try, almost always by the 4th attempt. It's weird. That may vary with other people, idk. GL!
