dragon49 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Please confirm that the first bird is a Downy Woodpecker. I need to know what kind of Goose the second bird is.

Well, I'm still not convinced that this is a Downy...it seems rather large to me and I don't see any spots on the underside of the tail which would indicate a Hairy. ?

psweet Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The woodpecker is a Downy. There's no shoulder spur, and you can see bars on the outer tail feathers. They're not easy to see, because of the resolution of the shot, but I can see them in both images. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for pointing that out...on my screen the photo is somewhat distorted so I really can not see the bars. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
