Deck shots: Male Downy Woodpecker

 Foraging for insects in our oak











They feed mainly on insects including beetle larvae, ants and caterpillars




You’ll find Downy Woodpeckers in open woodlands, particularly among deciduous trees, and brushy or weedy edges. They’re also at home in orchards, city parks, backyards and vacant lots.



Males have a small red patch on the back of their heads that is not present on females
