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.
Arizona Woodpecker
The Arizona Woodpecker is found in oak and pine-oak forests of the southwestern United States and Mexico. It is a medium-sized woodpecker weighing around 54g with a wingspan of about 22.6cm, notable for its brown-and-white spotted plumage. It forages on tree bark for insects and larvae.
