A Male Downy Woodpecker

Wednesday, January 29, 2020,

This is a male Downy Woodpecker that I managed to get some photos of recently. You tell that’s a male by the patch of red on the back of its head. The females look very similar but they don’t sport that extra patch of color. Obviously, the ladies are more confident in their natural good looks and don’t feel they need to wear such flashy accessories. JK

  1. Adorable! And such crisp shots! I have one that lives here named Gonzo after the muppet. He reminds me of a muppet. 🙂
