Hairy woodpecker

Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, July 13, 2020.


Dryobates villosus
Hairy Woodpeckers sometimes follow Pileated Woodpeckers, and sometimes appear when it hears the heavy sounds of a pileated excavating. As the pileated moves on, the Hairy Woodpecker investigates the deep holes, taking insects the pileated missed.
The oldest recorded Hairy Woodpecker was a male, and at least 15 years, 11 months
