6-inch black and white woodpecker.
Males have a small red patch on the nape.
The vertical white stripe down the back is a field mark worth noting. The Downy lives in forests, parks, river groves and gardens. It is a resident from Alaska across Canada, south throughout the United States except Southwest. This is one little bird that I see frequently in my yard. It is a busy little bird that runs up and down the branches pecking the wood in search of its food.
