I hear woodpeckers drumming quite a lot, Harry woodpeckers, Downy woodpeckers, and sometimes, Pileated woodpeckers. They all sound a little different, but sometimes, I can’t tell which is which. Today I saw a Downy woodpecker, first on the suet, then, on the finch feeder.
The little red dot marks it as a male. The slightly smaller size, the white bars on the shoulders mark it as a Downy woodpecker instead of the larger Harry woodpecker.
I think. It’s pretty hard to tell them apart sometimes.

The snow started yesterday morning, snowed all day, often with gusting winds, off and on during the night. There were still snow flurries when I went out this morning to take pictures.
