Spotted
A distinctive South American woodpecker, the Campo Flicker is unique among its family for its largely terrestrial habits, often foraging on the ground in open grasslands. Its striking plumage and bold markings make it a memorable sight.
Where to spot
Open grasslands, savannas, pastures, and agricultural areas across central and eastern South America, including Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina.
How to spot
Look for them on the ground in open areas, often in pairs or small groups. Their distinctive 'kew-kew-kew' call or drumming on fence posts can help locate them. Note their brown back barred with black, and the yellow/red facial markings (depending on sex).
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly in the morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round within its range.

Unlike most woodpeckers that climb trees and excavate wood, the Campo Flicker spends much of its time feeding on ants and termites directly from the ground, using its strong beak to probe the earth.
