The downy woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens) is a species of woodpecker, the smallest in North America.Length ranges from 14 to 18 cm (5.5 to 7.1 in). Downy woodpeckers primarily live in forested areas throughout the United States and Canada, with the exception of deserts in the southwest and the northern tundra.

However, Downy Woodpeckers can often be found in treed suburban backyards and will often feed on suet at birdfeeders, especially during the winter. Articles this image appears in
