Downy Woodpecker

Here is a little downy woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens).

"Male and female Downy Woodpeckers divide up where they look for food in winter. Males feed more on small branches and weed stems, and females feed on larger branches and trunks. Males keep females from foraging in the more productive spots. When researchers have removed males from a woodlot, females have responded by feeding along smaller branches." - allaboutbirds.org
