This cute little Downey Woodpecker has been hanging around our back yard all winter. He loves the suet and seeds and our heated bird bath. He is so cute when he takes a drink of water. He looks like he’s holding his head back and gargling. So cute!! Do you have a lot of woodpeckers in your yard?
Downy fun fact:
“Downy woodpeckers have special feathers around their nostrils; these feathers keep the birds from breathing in wood chips.”
