The Ringed Woodpecker is a distinctive species, characterized by a pale 'ring' or collar around its neck and an overall rufous-brown plumage. It is a resident of tropical lowland forests.
Where to spot
Found in northern South America, including Venezuela, the Guianas, and parts of northern Brazil. Inhabits lowland rainforests, swamp forests, and gallery forests.
How to spot
Look for its rufous-brown plumage with the pale collar. Males have a red crest. Listen for its soft, bubbling calls and less forceful drumming, often on decaying wood.
When to spot
Active throughout daylight hours, observable year-round. Mornings are often best for sightings and vocalizations.

This woodpecker has a relatively soft bill compared to other woodpeckers, specializing in foraging for ants and termites in softer, decaying wood rather than hard, living trees.
