Alphabetical list

This type of woodpecker only occurs in Northern America. There, according to my observations, is maybe the most popular species. I photographed it in bird feeding spots, during winter and it was almost always present at the places I have visited. For a woodpecker it is the smallest one in Northern America. Its body weight is 20-30 grams with a wingspan reaching up to 30 centimeters (sparrow!).

I admit that when I was getting up at 5 am in August in Swinoujście to go to the seaside with the camera I was quite skeptical about what I could photograph. The holiday season in a place like that means people on the beach practically around the clock. But without trying I will have no pictures for sure. When coming to the beach I could confess my fears proved correct, even so early you could count a dozen people.
