Hairy Woodpecker
Information and Photo credit link
The larger of two look alikes, the Hairy Woodpecker is a small but
powerful bird that forages along trunks and main branches of large
trees. It wields a much longer bill than the Downy Woodpecker's almost
thornlike bill. Hairy Woodpeckers have a somewhat soldierly look, with
their erect, straight-backed posture on tree trunks and their cleanly
striped heads. Look for them at backyard suet or sunflower feeders, and
listen for them whinnying from woodlots, parks, and forests.

You will see our own personal experience
with a California Acorn Woodpecker.
These woodpeckers were my favorite
as they were so communal with each
other and "talked" back and forth.
Have a lovely day!
