This woodpecker is very large & beautiful & seen on the islands where we camp.
When a woodpecker is working the area you are camped in you will hear the constant wood pecking sound.
The holes they put into dead trees are always facing south.
They are a thrill to watch & even get to see as they are very sneaky & elusive birds.

















Awesome picture. I just saw one of those in my front yard, he flew right over my head. The wing span is incredible!! Thanks for sharing that. I was trying to show everyone what I saw and found these pictures!
