Downy Woodpecker
Hairy woodpecker (via U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Northeast Region)
The Hairy Woodpecker is very similar to its smaller counterpart, the Downy Woodpecker. But look at that enormous beak! They use it to drill directly into the trunks of trees, whereas the Downy is more often limited to the smaller branches.
