The Black-headed Dryobates Woodpecker is a distinctive medium-sized species, unique for its predominantly black head contrasting with its otherwise black and white barred body. Males also feature a red nape patch.
Where to spot
Inhabits mixed and coniferous forests, particularly in cooler temperate regions of North America, often at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its striking black head, which makes it easily identifiable among other black and white woodpeckers. Listen for its calls and drumming, which may be less frequent than some other species.
When to spot
Resident year-round, active during daylight hours. Often more active and visible in the mornings.
