Spotted
The White Woodpecker is a striking South American species, named for its predominantly white plumage with black primaries and tail, and a small yellow patch around the eye. It's often found in open woodlands.
Where to spot
Inhabits open woodlands, savanna, palm groves, and semi-open areas across South America, including Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
How to spot
Look for groups of these distinctive white birds perched on branches or foraging on the ground. Their bright white plumage makes them stand out against green foliage or dark tree trunks. Listen for their sharp, repeated 'kik' calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its range. Best observed during daylight hours, especially in the morning when they are most active. They are relatively conspicuous due to their white plumage.

This social woodpecker often forages in flocks, particularly outside the breeding season, and can be seen feeding on the ground more frequently than many other woodpecker species.
