The Downy Woodpecker

No one can fail to be charmed by our smallest woodpecker, the neat littleĀ Downy.

Downy Woodpecker

As Alexander Wilson put it 206 years ago,

the principal characteristics of this little bird are diligence, familiarity, perseverance, and a strength and energy in the head and muscles of the neck, which are truly astonishing.

Agreed.
