Dryobates pubescens

The Downy Woodpecker, or Dryobates pubescens, is the smallest woodpecker in North America。

The pileated woodpecker can peck holes about 10cm in size in dead trees, which means that it has a greater range in habitable areas than the larger woodpecker. The woodpecker's diet is mostly insects, and you can easily hear them "tapping" the trees in the spring and summer。

Listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ver 3.1:2009 Red List of birds not at risk category.

Protect wild animals and eliminate wild meat.

It is everyone's responsibility to maintain ecological balance
