Here in the country, we have Red-bellied, Hairy, and Downy Woodpeckers sharing the feeders in the back yard. Often I see a Hairy and a Downy on the feeder at the same time (great for size and marking comparisons!). I have seen all three in the yard at the same time but never all three species at a single feeder at the same time.
