Agreed. I also think the bill is a bit long for a Downy. More likely a Nuttall's.

Nuttall's would be VERY unusual for Loxahatchee. This bird looks more like a Hairy Woodpecker. Note the white stripe down the back; the larger bill and lack of spots on the outer tail feathers make this a Hairy Woodpecker, not Downy.

Good point. Note to self: Check facts before putting foot in mouth. I see the Nuttall’s occurs mainly in California and not anywhere else.

From my archives, I believe this is a Nuttall’s, frequently in our oaks in summer in N. California.
Oh, here’s another more recent:

A few shots of a pileated woodpecker at the 6 Mile Cypress Slough Preserve in Ft. Myers, FL. He was mostly obscured by leaves but his upper half was clear

Owls... Share Your Owl Photos
I'm fascinated by owls of every shape and size and love it when I can find one in the wild to photograph. Sometimes I find them by noticing small birds mobbing them and follow the racket, sometimes I spot likely owl nests throughout the year, especially if there's signs of recent white wash and...
