Downy Woodpecker Dryobates pubescens Picidae Family

You likely don’t outright see the bird(s), because, per usual, this is the most my camera can zoom in (and I am too lazy to crop the photographs), but I promise you that there are bird(s) in these photographs, albeit half hidden in the foliage. 

The downy woodpecker is the smallest species of woodpecker in North America (source). They were very active on these trees, flitting here and there.
