They are widely distributed across most of the United States and Canada in various wooded habitats, including suburban areas. Downy Woodpeckers are active, acrobatic foragers, often seen on small branches or feeders, consuming insects, seeds, and berries. They are generally year-round residents. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Seven subspecies are recognised.
