Finally, I got close enough to get a decent ID shot of one of the backyard’s “usual suspects,” one of two downy woodpeckers (picoides pubescens) hanging out every day year ’round. This is the male. You can just barely see the red patch on the back of his head. The female looks very similar, but with no red.
