So, this will be the second year we have had a pair of downy woodpeckers excavate their nest in our backyard, and actually on the same snag. It’s really quite exciting! (I am assuming this is the same couple)
What’s neat about this pair is that we are seeing them excavating their cavity!
I am currently taking observation and monitoring the pair to put together a nice presentation but I wanted to give you all a preview of how adorable and hardworking these woodpeckers are.
Just another reminder that snags are important!

We had the same wonderful experience with a pair of Downy’s a few years ago. Sadly, a storm took out the snag. You are so right about how important they are!
