Downy Woodpecker
Hello Everyone!
This makes the first blog post of the season and to start off I have a great video of a Downy Woodpecker going at a Basket Willow, right here in the Waterfowl Park. To watch, click here.
Due to their tiny size compared to other woodpeckers, they have a special niche in terms of where they gather bugs - goldenrod! They're small enough to grab onto the stem and hammer away until they reach the bug larvae inside.
