Downy woodpeckers forage on trees, picking the bark surface in summer and digging deeper in winter. They mainly eat insects, but they also feed on seeds and berries.
I’ve been wanting to visit the John K. King Bookstore in Detroit for awhile now since labyrinthine bookstores are my vibe. I finally got a chance to do it today and there were SO MANY BOOKS that my brain just kind of shut off and I spent the vast majority of my 1.5 hours there simply wandering around endlessly rather than browsing I did end up buying some vintage postcards, which my brain couldcomprehend. They have a multitude of them near the front counter. I’d recommend checking out this place if you enjoy book-hunting!

Nests are constructed in trees within abandoned woodpecker holes or other cavities that provide adequate protection (usually several feet above ground). Both parents cooperate in raising the young, which they feed a diet consisting almost entirely of insects.
I often hear the chirp of a Carolina Wren around 7am these days. I spied this one in the afternoon and it wasn’t making its usual call.
