On Dec. 23 I took a series of photos of a Downy Woodpecker which happened to have a tree frog clinging to its back. There are 4 photos in the original posted series (on Flickr) and an additional close up of the frog in a fifth photo located in the comment section below the other photos.
At first, there was some discussion in the comments as to what this was on the back of the bird. Some folks thought it could be a wound of some sort or even brush material stuck to the back via tree sap. But I'm now personally convinced the rider is a tree frog. Please take a look at the photos if you are interested! Thanks for looking!
