Female Downy woodpecker, Adobe Creek While checking out Schollenberger Park in Petaluma, I discovered a small wooded environment adjacent to the park, squeezed between the industrial parks in the area, known as Adobe Creek.
At the time I was there, a few small woodpeckers were vying for territory on the best trees.

Woodpeckers often put their heads close to tree, to hear insect activity?
