The hairy woodpecker (Leuconotopicus villosus)​
​
The hairy woodpecker sits gracefully on a sturdy tree branch, its striking black and white plumage blending seamlessly with the bark. With its sharp beak and keen eyes, it peers downwards, scanning the ground for insects and other potential snacks. The bird’s distinctive markings and robust stature make a captivating sight against the backdrop of the blue sky. As it remains still the woodpecker embodies a moment of tranquility in a vibrant, bustling ecosystem.​
