Downy Woodpecker, female

Description:

The smallest of the North American Woodpeckers. Black and white, males have a small red patch on the back of the head. Nearly identical to the Hairy Woodpecker with slight differences in size and length of bill.

Habitat:

Housing area with plentiful wooded areas.

Notes:

Fortunately, she showed me enough of her face for ID purposes. I was able to see her beak and the little fluffy bit where the beak and face meet.
