Hi everyone! It’s Cindy here. Last week I showed you our Bluebirds so this week I want to show you some of the other birds around our yard. Let’s start with the largest.
There is no difference between male and female Blue Jays but the next pair has subtle difference between genders.
The only gender difference between the Downy Woodpeckers is that the male has a red spot on the back of his head. The next two birds are about the same size and are some of the smallest birds we have around our yard.

Beautiful pictures and thanks for the information! I always have trouble telling the difference between Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers. Do you see many Hairy Woodpeckers where you are?

Used to see a lot of blue jays and woodpeckers when I lived in the Northeast.
Here in Texas, I have been seeing a lot of mockingbirds and cardinals.
