Another hard day at the office, consequently a few more images from the archive of a species that must be close to the top of every ones favourites list? To follow, over the next 2 posts, something that may be more of interest to Dorset Birders particularly. Until then I leave you with
Red-headed Woodpecker, Dothan, Alabama, USA. A 'truck stop' en route to Panama City, Florida, it flew onto this pole, I ran from the Greyhound, click, click, click, End-Ex!
Golden-Olive Woodpecker, Henri Pittier NP, Aragua, Venezuela.
Downy Woodpecker, Cape May, New Jersey, USA.
Hairy Woodpecker, Hoboken, New Jersey, USA (coincidentally the birthplace of Frank Sinatra).
Green-barred Woodpecker, Ypacarai Lake, Paraguay.
Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Oakers Wood, Dorset.
Grey Woodpecker, Tendaba, The Gambia.
Lewis's Woodpecker, another Greyhound experience at Prince George, British Columbia, Canada, alighting for a coffee it flew overhead then disappeared.
Spot-breasted Woodpecker, Laguna Pedro Palo, Bogota, Colombia.
White-headed Woodpecker, Sequoia National Park, California, USA.
Woodpecker Finch, Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos. Not a Woodpecker at all but one of the Darwin Finch complex, a Finch that 'thinks' it's a Woodpecker. Woodpecker Finch
and finally,
Another One Bites the Dust
