Description
This painting is based on the original photograph 'Red Spikes - Male Downy Woodpecker', by Cindy Treger, whose express consent has been requested to use it as a reference.
Adult downy woodpeckers are the smallest of North America's woodpeckers, though there are many smaller species elsewhere. The downy is also among the most widespread and familiar species; it is a confiding bird that often visits feeders. The downy woodpecker is virtually identical in plumage pattern to the larger hairy woodpecker, suggesting a small version of it, both differing from the other American species by the broad white stripe down the back. Male has a small red nuchal patch, lacking in the female.
