I think this one has knocked her self silly, Caught her hammering away at the brick mortar and then after she had gone found a smalll hole with some brown stuff around it like dirt.
Could someone please varify the species and Gender. I think its a female downy.

This looks like a Hairy Woodpecker, going by the length of the beak and two white edges on the tail. Was she a little larger than others? They look so much like Downy's, sometimes it's hard to tell.

She seemed to be around 6" long, that is what led me to believe it was a downy.

Downys are more like 4 inches long. Small birds.

Nice captures. I have heard and seen various species of woodpeckers actually hammering away at sheet-metal fascia on a roof. Confused? LOL!
