The Golden-fronted Woodpecker is a highly adaptable species known for its black and white barred back, a pale underbelly, and a prominent golden-yellow patch above its bill. Males also display a red crown and nape.
Where to spot
Inhabits open woodlands, riparian areas, mesquite bosques, and suburban environments across the south-central United States, Mexico, and northern Central America.
How to spot
Look for the distinctive golden-yellow forehead patch. Listen for its loud, rolling 'churr' call and rapid drumming. It's often found on dead trees, utility poles, or large live trees.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout much of its range. Active during the day, most vocal and visible in the mornings.
