The Bay Woodpecker is a large and powerful species of Southeast Asia, characterized by its deep reddish-brown or 'bay' plumage with fine black barring, and a prominent red crest. It is a visually striking forest dweller.
Where to spot
Inhabits tropical moist broadleaf forests, evergreen hill forests, and sometimes secondary growth across Southeast Asia, from the eastern Himalayas to Indochina and parts of the Malay Peninsula.
How to spot
Look for its large size and rich bay-colored plumage. Scan large tree trunks in dense forests. Listen for its loud, far-carrying calls and powerful drumming, which often announce its presence.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its tropical habitat. Active during daylight hours, often more conspicuous in the mornings.
