The Downy Woodpecker was another bird I saw in a park on the Hudson River in New York. New York is in the year round range of this bird, as is most of the U.S.
The park is mostly woods. However, these shots are at the edge of the woods close to an open area. They usually stick to woods, but can be found in parks and they say at your bird feeder. When I was allowed to feed birds, I would see them in the woods behind my apartment, but not at the feeder.
This Downy Woodpecker is a male as males have the red patch on the back of their head.
Have a great rest of your week! Enjoy the great outdoors!

Great shots. If you don’t mind me asking, which park is it? What is the best time to see these birds? Early morning?

I think I actually saw them between 11-1:30. I’m sure they are more active in the morning, however with all the sunny days we have been having the light seemed fine. Are you in New York?
