Downy or Hairy Woodpecker?
1.) Answer- Hairy Woodpecker
This one was probably the trickiest and happens to be one of my shots. The long beak that is as long or longer than the head helps to ID this one as a male Hairy Woodpecker. The all black tail with no white and spots on the side(though tough to see) also confirms that it is a Hairy Woodpecker.
