The Downy woodpecker is the cutest little bird.
He especially likes the suet
This one did not seem to be shy, and stayed still long enough so I could snap his picture.CORRECTION, I had this little guy identified as a hairy woodpecker, thank you Randy for pointing out that it is actually a downy woodpecker. You can tell the difference between the two, by the downy having a shorter beak and the downy nostril feathering which filters out the sawdust produced in hammering.

Very pretty, I like the little red cap on their head
I never seem to get close enough to see the differences in the wood peckers in my neighbor's tree. Nice photos.
Jennifer,
I think this might be a Downy Woodpecker, the smaller bill leads me to this. Also very rarely Hairy's visit feeders, downys love feeders. Nice photos!
oh he's gorgeous. Great photos :)
Well it's gorgeous, whatever type of Woodpecker it is. Wonderful photos. It's great to see birdlife from all over the world up close.
I love the little woodpeckers. Great shots of the downy woodpecker.
