Downy Woodpeckers don’t sing songs, instead they drum loudly against wood or other hard objects to achieve the same effect. People typically think this drumming is part of the birds’ feeding habits, but it isn’t. In fact, feeding Downy Woodpeckers make surprisingly little noise even when they’re pecking vigorously into a tree looking for a meal. Found year-round across most of North America, these small woodpeckers can be seen almost anywhere in Eagles Mere where there are trees.
