About These Birds
Downy Woodpecker
The downy woodpecker is the smallest and most widespread woodpecker in North America. Its small size allows it to forage on thin branches and weed stems that larger woodpeckers cannot access. Downies often join mixed-species flocks in winter, benefiting from the extra vigilance of multiple species watching for predators.
Bar-bellied Woodpecker
The Bar-bellied Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker of the family Picidae found in montane forests on the Andean slopes from Colombia to Bolivia. Weighing about 43.3g with a wingspan of 19.6cm, it has barred black-and-white underparts and a red crown in males. It forages on tree trunks and branches for insects and larvae.
