Taking a mid-afternoon break to ask: what’s this Downy Woodpecker up to? Eating? Nesting? There are several woodpecker-sized holes in this dead tree branch in addition to the one he’s sticking his head into, and it’s hard to see, but he flings something “over his shoulder” off and on as he goes. https://youtube.com/shorts/pSnIzIeTAEs?si=gIzcaIcPfC-Yh7Q5
