| This female downy woodpecker, Picoides pubescens, seems to like my new suet feeder. She's about 6 inches long. Click to enlarge. |

| Before she flies to the feeder, she sits in a nearby tree for a few moments. I assume she is checking the area for dangers. |
 |
| A male came by soon, too. You can tell the difference by the red patch on the back of his head. I often see a male female pair pecking in the trees together. Handsome couple! |
Downny woodpeckers are super social. You will fine they don;t scare easily, Julie. The hairy woodpecker on the other hand, is a Nervous Ned.
