The Downey Woodpecker is common almost everywhere there are trees ( except the far north and dry southwest), even in city parks and suburbs. They will forage on dried weed stalks as well as tree trunks, and come to feeders for suet.
They have a white back, striped face and a very short bill. The male has a red nape spot, the female does not.
Generally common, active, and unwary, often seen in suburbs, parklands, orchards, and in forests. Always a familiar visitor to feeders.
