Picoides pubescens
Another bird spotted at the feeder. This is either the Downy or Hairy Woodpecker. Apparently the Downy is about 6 inches long versus the Hairy 9 inches. This guy was closer to 6 inches than 9 inches so he must have been a Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens). But on second thought, this is a female bird (lack of red crown) so I should call HER a HER.
