I wish I could put up feeders on my condo balcony... But it would instantly get engulfed by hoards of sparrows pooping up the whole side of the building lol. I should try setting up a feeding station out in the forest for some winter bird shots. I wonder how many hairy woodpeckers I've mistaken for downy woodpeckers over the years.

I can only tell hairy and downy apart by size. Usually its hard to tell unless you see two at the same time but now I can tell by how big they look compared to my birdfeeder lol
Odds are I might have photos of some hairy woodpeckers that I thought were downy. I'm still trying to get a good shot of a pileated woodpecker, so far I've seen them but my shots turned out blurry.
