Beautiful shots, Rob. It's hard for me to tell the difference between the hairy and the downy. I usually see the downy in our yard...I think.
Thank you very much, Donna; I always appreciate your comments. The hairy woodpecker is slightly larger than the downy and has a longer bill/beak. The red patches on the males are slightly different.
