[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Downy Woodpeckers can be confused with Hairy Woodpeckers as their range overlaps across North America. Both are black-and-white woodpeckers, but it is not too hard to distinguish them.
The Downy Woodpecker is smaller.
Its bill length is shorter than its head, whereas the Hairy Woodpecker has a bill that is equal to or longer than the length of its head.
Hairy Woodpeckers have a black comma extending to their upper breast; Downy Woodpeckers do not.
In the East, Downy Woodpeckers have spotted outer tail feathers; outer tail feathers on Hairy Woodpeckers are entirely white.

Salut Daniel,
Je ne voulais pas manquer cette photo car elle est vraiment superbe. Ces petits ne sont pas nécéssairement faciles à photographier et à calibrer mais tu as réussis haut la main. J'aime beaucoup cette exposition, les détails, les couleurs et son environnement. Bravo pour cette belle capture! La lumière dans son oeil est magnifique,
Claudine

Hello Daniel,
very nice capture with a superb composition; sharpness, colors, light, composition, everything is excellent !

Hi Daniel,
Excellent capture of this woodpecker!
I like the carefully built image here, the POV and the pose of the bird.
It's very good the exposition used and the clear details got on the bird.
I like also the vertical composition made with the branch along the diagonal.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM
