Hello Hivers
Downy Woodpecker
A very popular bird this time of year.
The red patch on the back of it's head indicates...
that it's a male.
This is a popular hiking area, and many people leave seeds for the birds, and of course the chipmunks take advantage ......
of the easy meal as well.
Sometimes it is mistaken for the Hairy Woodpecker. This species is a little smaller and if you get close enough you can see the length of it's .....
beak is half as long as the Hairy.
