Got any bird pics?

Hmm. We have a lot of woodpeckers, but this would almost have to be a juvenile, then? This gives a better idea of size. A little over 2"

No, not necessarily.

Downy Woodpeckers are little guys... only averaging about 6" long.
The wing feathers shown in @Bajema 's graph are shown in centimeters.

Beautiful feathers regardless.

EDIT.... Bajema beat me to it (y)
 
The chart is in cm, so I think the length fits. It’s also for the secondary feathers, not the longer primaries. I’m no expert on this though.
Ha - of course, missed that.

Have to keep an eye out, then. Pretty sure we haven't seen any of that type of woodpecker before.
Thanks y'all!

I'm actually camped in a bird sanctuary for a few days on the lower river. My wife joined me for the night and we took advantage of a nice weather window to watch some birds.

This included the local flock of Goldfinches which seemed to be extra perky.

We saw one of my favorite birds, the tanager, but I couldn't get a shot. There's also a moose hanging out down here. I'll see if I can find 'em in the morning.
