Photograph of a male Downy Woodpecker. Downy woodpeckers are gleaning birds. They scale trees and shrubs, constantly tapping and digging beneath bark crevices for beetles, and ants, plus insect cocoons and egg masses. They have sticky, barbed tongues, the better to extract the hidden, buggy treats. The males tend to methodically search a tree's upper branches, while the females stick to the trunk and the lower, large limbs. To tell a male from a female, the female will be missing the red patch at the back of the head.
