Spotted
The Frontal Woodpecker is a medium-sized species, characterized by its black and white barred back, pale underparts, and a distinct red forehead in males. It is often found in open woodlands and forest edges.
Where to spot
Inhabits open woodlands, mixed forests, and forest edges, typically across temperate regions of North America.
How to spot
Look for the bright red forehead patch (in males) as it forages on tree trunks and larger branches. Listen for its sharp calls and rhythmic drumming, which can help in locating it.
When to spot
Resident year-round, active during daylight hours. Best observed in the mornings when foraging activity is higher.
This woodpecker exhibits a flexible diet, incorporating both insects, which it excavates from wood, and fruits or berries, especially during the non-breeding season.
