downy woodpecker

Picoides pubescens

Description:

Downy Woodpecker caught himself a grub! Smallest woodpecker in North America and captured this one on camera catching breakfast.

Habitat:

We are the high desert of Oregon and have several of these woodpeckers in our area right now. It is winter . Appear to like the fruit trees, scrub trees near water is where I see them.

Personal observations....
