I had no idea there were so many different species of woodpeckers, especially ones residing in Utah. These look like Downy Woodpeckers to me. (Sally, am I right?)
They were tricky to photograph. The male, in particular, was quite elusive.
The female appears to stay close to the nest. I assume there is a nest hidden within that knotty trunk. We shall see.

Those are amazing shots Julie! I love the one with the head poking out of the tree. Thanks for sharing that. What beautiful birds they are. :)
Linus is a very beautiful cat...and the shots of this bird are just awesome. I just love all the little birds..thank you God for them! :D
Amazing, AMAZING shots. Especially that one with its head sticking out from the tree.
Wonderful.
=)
Beautiful pictures! I have a feeling I asked this question already but what kind of camera do you use?
Fabulous photos Julie !!! Ha, if Linus only KNEW !!!
Those are such beautiful photos!
Hi Julie, I can't believe your little visitors! Are they loud? You take wonderful pictures by the way! And your kitty is very well behaved!
THANK YOU for your sweet comment tonight - I was hesitant to publish that post and have revised it 10 times since! :) Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
Holy cow Julie! Those pictures are awesome! How long did you have to wait around to get those?
What beautiful birds...whatever they are! I love him peeking his head out the hole...they fit in to the tiniest spots.
I hope Linus stays oblivious. :)
Those are some gorgeous pictures!
I love woodpeckers.
Love the birds and the picture! Nice work-
There was a woodpecker outside our window this morning that looked like this guy.
Wow I have to agree - Those are really some sensational shots you took. I love that you got him pecking his hole and sitting in it. Soooo cool!
Linus is BEAUTIFUL!
I do love cats though.
I didn't know all that about the birds either.
Beautiful!
Great pictures! I love her nest when her head is poking out! WOW! Does that do permanent damage to the tree? Last year {for the first time ever, I do live in the desert} I heard pecking and found one in my big oak tree! I was amazed!
Great images! I'm sure they weren't easy to get!
What amazing photos. Love it!
Warmly, Michelle
Wow, those are so neat! Love the cat too. :o)
woodpeckers are beautiful birds. i hear them every once in a while but never see them. my cat would do the same thing-ignore!
Those are great pictures!
Really nice captures, Julie!
I love birch trees. I think they might be my favorite. ;)
