Think that's actually a downy woodpecker.

Agree it's probably a downy. Too small to be a hairy but they're almost identical.

I was playing with the new lens and some new visitors showed up to the feeder, and below the feeder. I'm glad the goldfinches finally showed up, not so much the chipmunk.

Very nice set! What lens did you get? It's a definite improvement over the other. Oh, and that chipmunk has bad boy written all over him!

Thanks! I got a Nikon 200-500mm, it is a FX lens so on my Dx it is equivalent to 450-750mm I believe. The VR is outstanding, those shots were at 400-500mm all hand held. It is a beast though, I believe it comes in at 5 pounds.

I'm hoping for some nice weather to get back out to the local marsh and see if I can't get some better shots of the geese and the cranes that were just out of reach last time.

Whoa! 5 lbs.! That's almost as heavy as my Del-Ton AR-15, which really isn't too bad if you're not holding it up for long periods of time. Nice lens and good luck with the swamp shoot! Looking forward to seeing some more marsh pics!
