| "The
active little Downy Woodpecker is a familiar sight at backyard feeders
and in parks and woodlots, where it joins flocks of chickadees and
nuthatches, barely out-sizing them. An often acrobatic forager, this
black-and-white woodpecker is at home on tiny branches or balancing on
slender plant galls, sycamore seed balls, and suet feeders."
