In warm weather, it’s alive with nuthatches, chickadees, sometimes a downy woodpecker.

A photo caption that accompanied an image with the article misidentified a downy woodpecker as a hairy woodpecker, and a group of bright yellow finches or vireos was referred to only as “birds.”

Instead, we found a flock of house finches, another of pine siskins and a diminutive downy woodpecker.

I missed walking outside to the chirpy song of a red-winged blackbird first thing in the morning, the downy woodpeckers tapping away on our old maple tree.

All around the yard the downy woodpeckers and the Carolina wrens and the tufted titmice are traveling from branch to branch, two by two.
