Male Downy WP

side by side on the feeder.The Hairy was at the end of
this condominium feeder attacking the suet while the
Downy was on the side of the feeder peering into the
middle compartment at the sunflower seeds. The red area
at the back of the Hairy's head was interupted in the middle
leaving that area free of color for approx 1 to 1.5 inch.I
don't recall ever noticing this before. The field guides do
not show the full back of the head of either bird. Is this
separation of the red color line normal. Joyce Porter Falls
