It looks like this little guy found something in one of the crevices. The
Downy Woodpecker is a smaller version of the Hairy Woodpecker. Hairy Woodpeckers are about the size of a Robin while Downy Woodpeckers are not much bigger than a sparrow.
A Brown Thrasher hanging out in a thicket of buckthorn just like the guides say:
A large, skulking bird of thickets and hedgerows. Robins can sometimes act like Thrashers but I've never seen a Thrasher leave the undergrowth and venture out onto a lawn like a Robin.
We saw some downy's at Heron Park near Sawmill Creek and some nuthatches - wonderful to see all the birds back! Great pics!
