Nuttall's Woodpecker

Picoides nuttallii

Notes 3

Easier to hear than to see, though they will come and peck on telephone poles and yard trees and get quite close to the ground. Their call is a loud sort of "pid-it pid-it!" Example: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Nuttalls_Woodpecker/sounds

Males and juveniles have red caps.
