Downy Woodpecker
Basics: This bird can be identified by its white back, black nape, and black wings with white spotting. Another amusement on this species is its quick moves up and down the tree trunks.
Housing: Mount your wooden birdhouse to the trunks of mature trees. There should be about 1- ¼" inch hole for your woodpeckers to enter/exit.
Food: You can get pretty close to these birds as they feed, due to their being quite brave. Add a Suet feeder, and Suet to get a close up view of these beauties feeding near your home! Suet is a great food source for all woodpecker species in our area.
How to attract: Downy Woodpeckers are attracted to places where food is abundant
Fact: This is the smallest Woodpecker in North America.
Tip: Downy woodpeckers look very similar to hairy woodpeckers. However, remember that when distinguishing between the two, downy woodpeckers are smaller, with smaller bills.
