Spotted
The Yellow-fronted Woodpecker is a visually striking species, featuring a black body with extensive white barring, a bright yellow forehead, and a red crown (in males). It's a common inhabitant of open woodlands.
Where to spot
Inhabits open woodlands, savanna, gallery forests, and urban parks across eastern and central South America, including Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, and northern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its bright yellow forehead and red crown (if male) as it forages on tree trunks and large branches. Listen for its loud, rapid 'churr' calls and typical woodpecker drumming on resonant wood.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Observable throughout the day, with peak activity in the mornings and late afternoons. They are relatively conspicuous due to their coloration.

This woodpecker often drills into softer wood, such as dead snags or fence posts, to create nesting cavities. Both parents take turns excavating the nest and raising the young.
