Kentucky Woodpeckers

when out birding, woodpeckers are one of my favorite finds in Kentucky, where i live there are seven different kinds the smallest is the Downy and they seem to like my suet feeders best I always see them in a pair so I hope nearby is their nest next we have the Hairy and its just bigger by a bit in the evenings they seem most active so I like to go outside and sit a Red Bellied woodpecker visits one of my trees each day I am pretty sure when I hear its call it asking me to play Northern Flickers have speckles and a black patch on its chest Its feathers are mostly brown, and not black and white like the rest Yellow Bellied Sapsucker is my favorite one to say I spotted my very first one in a field of flowers on a hot summer day the Pileated is the largest and loudest and a majestic one to see they like to make their nests in the cavity of a large dead tree the last is the wood-cockaded that I have yet to spot its rare and likes pine forests but I will give it my best shot
