Description

The downy woodpecker is the smallest woodpecker in North America.

Despite their close resemblance, the downy and hairy woodpeckers are not very closely related; the outward similarity is an example of convergent evolution.

Observed alongside the Park Drive Reservation Trail in the Rosedale neighborhood of the city of Toronto.
