Hairy Woodpecker Photos

I have Downy Woodpeckers in my yard, every day, without exception. Winter, summer, doesn't matter, they'll be there, and I'm very glad for it. I DO see their bigger cousins, Hairy Woodpeckers, on occasion in my yard, but it's a much rarer event. People sometimes have difficulty telling the two apart, but when you see Downy's so often, the bigger size of the Hairy (and other features) are evident.
