This male downy was digging into soft rotted wood looking for insects. Woodpeckers are voracious predators on insects, as well as being seed and suet feeders. The larger hairy woodpecker is also seen at FWG, but less frequently than these guys. Last year was an exception, however, as hairy woodpeckers were commonly found flaking bark from dying ash trees and feeding on emerald ash borer larvae.
