Female Downy Woodpecker on Crimson Teacup — Art Card

The Red Patch Tells A Story!

The red patch on the male Downy Woodpecker's head inspired Indigenous legends that the bird bore a warrior's badge of courage and a symbol of bravery and hard work. A small bird with a big reputation.

This fluffy character is one of many I spot on my walks in the woods. If you don't see them, you can certainly hear them — hammering away up to 10 times per second. I love the nonchalant look on this one's face.
