Backyard Winter Birds | Female Downy Woodpecker The Downy Woodpecker is really cute as they rapidly move up and down a tree. Capturing a close up becomes really difficult even with a long lens. Like many species of woodpecker, they have a rise and fall flight style. In the warmer months, they are really noisy with their shrill call and tree pecking.
