The Bird app says it's a Downy Woodpecker, but to me it looks a little like a Hairy Woodpecker as I have taken many pictures of a Downy. Maybe it interbred with a Hairy Woodpecker? 🤣 The beak looks a little longer than usual.

The “War Relocation Center” imprisoned nearly 11,000 Japanese Americans at its peak. In 1942, FDR signed the executive order that forced the relocation of some 120,000 people of Japanese descent, mostly on the West Coast, to 10 such camps like this, away from urban centers.
