Cat, yes your one woodpecker is a Downy. Once you see a Hairy it is easy to tell the difference. Hairy is larger than a Downy but smaller than the red - bellied.

With the juncos the males are the black & whites ones - your first 3. The fourth one is hard to tell but think it is female. I am not positive but #5 could possibly be a hybrid (dark-eyed & Oregon mix) or an Oregon Junco. #6 is a female. The females are lighter, more a brownish color. I usually spot at least 1 Oregon every winter here in the yard.
