Description
The downy woodpecker, Dryobates pubescensis, is the smallest North American woodpecker. It is black and white with checkered wings and a white breast. The male has a red patch on its head. It feeds on insects, but also eats seeds and berries. This one, seen in Nebraska, was perched momentarily in the crotch of a maple.
