10 Downy Woodpeckers Facts

The active little Downy Woodpecker is a familiar sight at backyard feeders and in parks and woodlots, where it joins flocks of chickadees and nuthatches, barely outsizing them.

Thank you Leslie, we have apparently 5 different types woodpeckers on our property

[@stephenspark9358]

Just curious is it common in Canada to call Orchards Orchids I have heard you Pronounce Orchards as Orchids several times not Trolling just curious ?

[@stephenspark9358]

Have you ever heard that Downy Woodpeckers also eat poison ivy berries I have, just wondered if you had?

[@realmattpcd]

How did you get them to eat from your hand

[@WebFanNY]

@LesleytheBirdNerd We found out this year we have four species living in our wooded backyard here in Upstate NY, including the giant Pileated Woodpecker that inspired Woody. It's a monster the size of a forearm and it clears the yard when he eats off the feeder paste we leave for it. all squirrels and birds get out of the way.

I did not know the drumming wasn't for food! The peanut feeder attracts both Hairy and Downy, plus the Acorn and Flickers. There could be more but the Hairy and Downy are regulars. Adorable little things! Thank you for a wonderful video!

Cool, thanks!

Love birding and I’ve really enjoyed your videos. Watching my birds help me relax and I thank God for them.

[@donnabeaudin9114]

I was so glad you showed all the differences between the Downy and Hairy. They come to the suet every winter and everybody in the family who sees them says, “ Is that a Downy or a Hairy?” Armed with the knowledge that you’ve shared, I’m going to look pretty smart this winter!😄

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

lol to funny

[@nathanielscreativecollecti6392]

My favorite fact was that they are terribly adorable.

[@mamaboocee]

Here's something interesting...the Jays know that when I hear a downey or a red bellied woodpecker, I will especially make sure they get their own peanut. So, I have a Blue Jay that now imitates them to get my attention. I heard him/her do this and was surprised when I looked up to find a blue jay staring at me instead of a Woodpecker! I have heard them imitate the hawks as well, but this impersonation of the woodpeckers was spot on! Another reason to love those Jays!

[@jeremybyington]

The jays bang their beaks into the wood? Are their skulls equipped with a shock absorber as well or are they giving themselves concussions to get a peanut?

[@mamaboocee]

@@jeremybyington what? They make CALLS like the woodpeckers, not drum like a woodpecker. Knucklehead.🤯🙂

[@artbloomfield1550]

Like Jeremy Byington, I thought you were talking about drumming, I have never heard any other sounds from them. 72 but still learning 🙂

[@mamaboocee]

@@artbloomfield1550 yes, they sound like the cartoon character woody woodpecker (the red bellied woodpeckers) and the downey has a lovely squeaky kind of sound! There are two different kinds of drumming sounds - one that is just the sound of getting food, and the other is for mating. I only learned this all during the summer of covid! So, my apologies to you and Jeremy! I never even saw a downey till this summer and jeesh, they really are all over the place! Nuthatches, too! You can search for all the bird calls here on youtube, there are many fine examples - Lesley being the first lady of Birding!

[@mamaboocee]

@@jeremybyington my apologies, I was once a birding knucklehead! See my comment to Art above this one! 😁

[@steve24todd]

I appreciated learning that the drumming was about attracting a mate, not about feeding. Thx.

My favorite kind of woodpecker. I rescued one who got stuck on our screen door after a crash. I was honored she trusted me to hold her a bit while she recovered.

[@NewEnglandNaturalist]

I didn't realize they were so helpful to our ecosystem. I love them even more now!

[@ervinabajrami]

The fact that they do not make so much noise when they seek food was quite interesting. I began to think that they simply do not make noise when they don’t have to, and that’s quite beautiful... and wise. Thank you!

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

I agree, good point

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

I don't know why I always do this but I think it may be because I never hear this word being said and for some reason, I always pronounce it "orcid" when it should be "orchard". Hahaha oh my 😏 This error slipped on by. Very sorry for any confusion.🐦

[@desertfox3860]

I knew what you meant Lesley. My place is surrounded on all sides by Apple and Pear orchards and I do have a little Downy woodpecker at my suet block. Very nice video, thanks for sharing. Also, the nostril feathers was my favorite new thing to learn.

[@BK-qp8zp]

Because you have such a lovely Canadian accent, I just figured I'd misunderstood something. I can't tell you how very much I enjoyed this video! There are several woodpeckers that are regulars at my house but I didn't know that much about them, other than the obvious. They are the cutest things!

[@LaFmAn9]

Downys are really cute! I decided to up my bird watching game this year, since there isn't much else to do thanks to the plandemic. I added two suet feeders to my collection of three seed feeders. What a pleasant surprise that was! Within the first week I had visits from three different types of woodpeckers. First was a Downy it took me a few days to identify because I had never even seen or heard of a Downy woodpecker before adding the suet feeders. Since then she's become a welcomed regular! Second was a massive Pilated woodpecker. I instantly knew what I was looking at because of their popular appearance, but I had no idea how big they were! It seemed more interested the the cats dry food, flew off and hasn't returned since. Lastly is the Red-Bellied woodpecker also a very welcomed frequent visitor! I can not stress just how happy I am that I added the suet feeders to my yard! I even started adding a wide variety of fruit, berries and seeds. Which made a big difference. Just this year from spring till now I've had eight or so new visitors to my yard. Among the woodpeckers I've gained white-breasted Nuthatches(so cute the way they run up and down the trunk of the tree), Brown-headed cowbirds, Dark-Eyed Junkos, Eastern Phoebes, and my new personal favorite the Tuffed Titmouse! They make the coolest electro sounding bird call. Even had a couple visits from a Cooper's Hawk. Can you blame them? Some days my yard must look like a buffet to them. Upwards of a hundred birds at some points, including a half dozen squirrels too. LoL Thanks for doing what you do by sharing. Love the content and quality. Take care.

This little guy and the Red Bellied Woodpeckers always show up at my feeders in the winter, they even still come during the Spring/Summer but not as frequent as the winter time. Such beautiful little birds. Can't help but notice this month I've only seen a little male at my feeders, and I hope that the female is nesting and that the tornado on May 16th didn't cause any harm to them.

[@manubird2475]

A lifetime and 60 years ago, Downy woodpeckers would drive us nuts in our very old, wood shingled house in northern New Hampshire. They would show up at the crack of dawn (I'm tempted to say the crack of downy) to peck bugs out of the rotting shingles. They drove us crazy! No more sleep! Still, my family loved those woodpeckers. They were very resilient, and they survived when so many other species disappeared during the DDT time in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Bluebirds, goldfinches, hummingbirds, hawks, and so many other species disappeared because of DDT contamination that affected egg shell strength, etc. Thank you for this video, and aloha from Hawai'i!

[@dianamccay7276]

I have a sweet little female Downy that eats from the suet feeder in my back yard. I get tickled watching her because she positions herself above the feeder and walks backwards down the tree to get to it and eat from it. It’s cute to watch! 😊

[@earllutz2663]

Thank you for posting. My wife and I live in a camper in the NW Lower portion of Michigan, near Traverse City. Our camper is right at the edge of a mix conifer/deciduous woods at the edge of a larger forested area. There are open fields nearby as well as open water. We get quite a variety of birds coming by year round. I am glad to know more about the downy and hairy woodpeckers. We get three or four species showing up. A pileated WP came by today. In the spring, one of the larger species drums on the old CB antenna by our host's garage. A couple of years ago, a pileated was drumming on an overturned aluminum canoe. Now I know they were NOT looking for food pecking on steel and aluminum. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful wealth of knowledge and understanding.

I always enjoy your lovely little educational videos on our NA birds. The Downeys in my old peach trees have given me hours of joy. I wait to start hearing their rat-a-tatta-tat on wood and branch in late January, even before the first Robin returns. Some never seem to leave.

Thank you for this lovely video. In Europe we mainly have the greater and lesser spotted woodpecker, as well as the green (very common) and the less common black woodpecker. Cheers from Spain!

[@BirdsandGhibliFan]

The Black Woodpecker and the Green Woodpecker are so pretty. I would be elated if I saw them in real life. In North America, we have equivalents to both the Black and Green Woodpecker. The Pileated Woodpecker is very big, like the Black Woodpecker, and the Northern Flicker forages on the ground like the Green Woodpecker, but it’s not as pretty. It’s beige, but it does make up for it with its spots and red or yellow under its wings.

[@victoriawilliams2786]

I've been feeding a pair of these suet this summer (2022) here in Maine. They prefer the peanutbutter kind at Walmart. They're not afraid of my cat on her harness and leash.

[@joeschmoe2011]

I have a couple that come to the feeders (Missouri). They seemed to struggle with the feeders and they were ran off by the other birds often. I started spreading the bark butter toward the top of the 4"x4" poles that hold up the roof of the deck. They are one of the few birds that can land on the pole and eat the bark butter. I think I saw a Carolina Wren on the pole eating earlier today also. The bigger birds have given up trying. So today after the snow storm the two Downy woodpeckers flew in, right to their pole and ate away. No problem from any of the other birds.

[@ilikebirds7748]

My favorite new fact was that males and females forage on different parts of a tree. I have noticed that the male downy often drives the female off of my suet cage. Definitely dominant. I have a female downy that likes to roost in one of my bluebird boxes in the winter.

[@thenaturekid3739]

This year in Spring some chickadees made a nest on my back porch. After they fledged, i touched one. It was very soft and cute. The next day, i did not see any baby chickadees, but i did hear them all over my backyard. Now that it is fall, i miss those birds. But i do have a cute and sweet pet chicken named Chickadee.

[@josephromo1059]

Wow I always thought the loud pecking was them feeding. I had know idea that they can't make sounds like other birds. So they use it as mating calls, and and communicating. Thank you so much for always teaching us new things about our feathery friends.

[@Solitaire1]

I use a window suet feeder held on by suction cups and I get these little beauties coming in all the time. I can hang out on the inside and get a very close up look at them as they come in to feed. I have at least 5 or 6 individuals that stop by throughout the day. They are absolutely one of my favorite birds to watch.

[@super_hoops3172]

I have these all the time in my backyard
