Friday's lunch hike yielded this Downy woodpecker.
Downy and Harry woodpeckers are the only ones with a white back in the middle.
Harry woodpecker is larger and has a longer beak. Though I couldn't see the beak in any of the photos I took and being far away, I am not positive that the woodpecker is of the smaller size.
I heard the woodpecker for a while before I saw it. Being patient and scanning the branches above I finally spotted it.
This photo shows how the tail is used to brace against the tree when the woodpecker is after food.
Jeremiah 17:210
"I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give to each man according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds."
