Spotted
Cassin's Woodpecker is a medium-sized species with classic black and white woodpecker markings, including a ladder-barred back and a red hindcrown in males. It often prefers open forest habitats.
Where to spot
Inhabits open woodlands, mixed forests, and riparian areas in parts of western North America, extending south into Mexico.
How to spot
Look for its black and white ladder-back pattern. Listen for its softer, less frequent calls and drumming compared to some other woodpeckers. Binoculars are useful for observing its quiet foraging behavior.
When to spot
Resident year-round, active during daylight hours. Often best observed in the mornings when foraging activity is higher.
This species is known for its quiet and deliberate foraging style, often spending considerable time meticulously probing a single area of bark before moving to the next.
