Hello Hivers
Downy Woodpecker
These small and active woodpeckers are usually found within flocks of chickadees and nuthatches.
The red patch on the head identifies this one as a male.
Being part of a flock provides protection from......
predators.
When you hear them drumming against a tree they are more....
then likely communicating. When feeding they make very little noise.
