The active little Downy Woodpecker is a familiar sight at backyard feeders and in parks and woodlots, where it joins flocks of chickadees and nuthatches, barely outsizing them. An often acrobatic forager, this black-and-white woodpecker is at home on tiny branches or balancing on slender plant galls, sycamore seed balls, and suet feeders. Downies and their larger lookalike, the Hairy Woodpecker, are one of the first identification challenges that beginning bird watchers master.

Ah great shot, Janette! We have a downy that hangs around our yard, too, but I can never get a shot of him...he flies away as soon as I appear! Good for you to get this one! L
Janette Boyd replied:
Hi, Sandi! Yes, that is exactly like our downy! I have taken over 20 or 30 shots of this downy and only one or two good ones! Talk about fast! Thanks for the Like!
