Spotted
The Golden-crowned Woodpecker is a medium-sized species of West Africa, distinguished by its olive-green plumage, bright golden-yellow crown, and a red nape patch. It is a visually appealing bird of the forest canopy.
Where to spot
Found in tropical moist broadleaf forests, forest edges, and dense secondary growth in West and Central Africa, from Guinea to Cameroon and Angola.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of forest trees for this olive-green bird with a bright yellow crown. Listen for its characteristic calls and drumming, which can help in locating it high in the trees.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its tropical habitat. Active during daylight hours, often more conspicuous in the mornings.
This woodpecker often forages at mid to upper levels of the forest, searching for insects on the bark and foliage. Its golden crown makes it a distinctive sight in the dappled light.
