Nature Done Wright

On Monday, I asked what kind of feather this is.

I had found the tiny feather on a walk around the Celery Farm last week, amid reports of Black-and-white Warbler sightings. I immediately thought: Black-and-white Warbler.

Upon further review, and consulting some on-line feather guides, I concluded that it belonged to a Downy Woodpecker or possibly a Hairy Woodpecker.

Can't say for sure, but I have decided to go with Downy Woodpecker because, all things being equal, there are a lot more Downys around than Hairys.

Congrats to Ginny Chukka for agreeing with me, and to Barbara Dilger and Marianne Herrmann for taking the road less traveled.
