Nice Trumpeter Swans, threegardeners.

This past weekend, I was walking a path around a local pond with woods on one side of the path. I heard these little voices coming from one of the trees (which tree, of course). I waited patiently to see if I could observe some movement.
Eventually, I saw a female Downy Woodpecker land on one of the trees. She had just come back to feed her young.
I ultimately used a flash to get these photos. Otherwise, it was way too dark for a 500mm lens.
