Hairy Woodpecker, juvenile male

Stevens Creek Park

This juvenile appeared to be fully fledged and ready to depart the nest at any moment. The extensive red patch extending forward of the eyes identifies it as a male; juvenile females may have red on the crown, but smaller in size and behind the eyes, according to Pyle.
