I’ve enjoyed the variety of birds at my feeding station since putting out suet cakes.
In just a few moments this guy swooped in for a visit.
A Hairy Woodpecker.
A few seconds later a much smaller woodpecker arrived. It was a Downy Woodpecker.
I’ve never seen these two varieties around at the same time. Months can go by before I’ll spot either.
And then this girl arrived. Hairy or Downy? I’m inclined to think a Downy. If so, she quite a bit larger than her mate.
