[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I believe this to be a juvenile Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens). The mother who was not any larger than this fellow was feeding him bits of an orange. She would fly up to an ornage overhead and peck a bit then fly down and stuff it into the waiting beak of this fellow.

I added some contrast and Gaussian blur.

I like the contrast between the bird and the BG in the colours. The grayish bird and the warm green colours. Very good details in the feathers and a reflection in the eye enhances it even further.
