Downy woodpecker with long beak. I don't think this beak is normally this long.

Pinochio returns? Lovely photo. I love the colours of the woodpecker - it looks so warm compared to the snow

Great bird shot. I've seen the results of Woodpeckers but have never gotten this close to one in real life. How did you get so close with a 47mm lens?

@Twelvebit: I was standing inside my mother in laws kitchen at the time with my camera smack against the window.The bird feeder is just outside it.
