0409CA1190E - WOODPECKER Red-head Sudbury, CANADA

Sudbury, Ontario, CANADA

This red woodpecker caught my attention as I was hiking in the Laurentian Trail in Sudbury, Ontario. Being the largest of woodpeckers, this Pilate Woodpecker's song is a simple, low-pitched Cuk-cuk-cuk. As it prefers conifer, birch and other softwood trees, it is common is northern and western Ontario forests.

Nikon D100
1/125s f/5.6 at 300.0mm full exif

Newcastle Washington.. Saw one in our back yard about 2/25/11... Beautiful to see. We keep lots of bird feeders out and sometimes catch a rare sighting of birds we have not see and this was one

Is it rare to see one of these is Fayetteville, NC? I had/have one who eats the berries off my dogwood tree.
