Photographers out there will understand when I say part of the thrill (and the disappointment) of digital photography is when you download the pictures. Today I got quite a thrill with this one. Edward Craven pointed out a Downy Woodpecker nest to me this morning. Later on, I walked past again and on an off chance took a picture. The nest is around 30 feet up and was at quite a distance so I used my digital zoom. Was thrilled to see that I managed to snap the chick in the nest.
