Downy Woodpecker

On one of the very hot days last week I went to Lake Erie Metropark to look for dragonflies.  I didn't find a single dragonfly or damselfly, but I did see this charming Downy Woodpecker and took a series of photos.  Its plumage appears mature.  But the bird's poses and behavior remind me of a fledgling.  The bird is just too cute.  I've never really seen an adult downy behave this way.
