I am already a better birder for having watched this video. Have Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers at the feeders all the time. You just made it easy to tell which. Thanks

Thank you so much for this terrific introductory video on birding. My third graders watched it, and they really got a good sense for how to carefully observe wild birds. Now, when we go birding, I hear them saying, "It's larger than a robin, but smaller than a crow." Awesome!
