The Downy Woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens) is found only in North America, occurring most places there are trees and woodlands. It is our smallest native woodpecker, and in many areas the most commonly seen, especially in winter. It is easily attracted to bird feeders. The pattern of their plumage, especially the size of the white wing spots and the whiteness or greyness of the breast, varies geographically, with the result that seven subspecies are recognized. I have shown the most widely distributed (and one of the brightest patterned), D. p. medianus, the one found here in Ontario, and common in my garden. “Downy” does not apply to plumage texture but to small (infantile) size, and references the scientific species name, pubescens, Latin for “pubescent”, or “downy” in the sense of being youthful or small. It is no more “downy” than any other woodpecker. This life size oil painting is 12 X 9 inches on acid-free compressed hardboard. $400.00. Sold.
