Birds of Kentucky: Downy Woodpecker

A downy woodpecker pops briefly into a pool of fall sunlight, and briefly right side up, while foraging.
All About Birds says, "Where they occur, Downy Woodpeckers are the most likely woodpecker species to visit a backyard bird feeder. They prefer suet feeders, but are also fond of black oil sunflower seeds, millet, peanuts, and chunky peanut butter. Occasionally, Downy woodpeckers will drink from oriole and hummingbird feeders as well." Comments | Permalink
