Acorn Woodpecker
The Acorn WP is definitely one of our more charismatic appearing woodpeckers. This woodpecker is found in the Southwest and up the US west coast as well as parts of Mexico and down through Central America and into Colombia.
This is a female, her red cap extending to a black band above her white forehead. The male's red cap extends all the way to the white forehead.
The AWP lives and breeds in a complex social structure with many breeding pairs raising the brood. The young will stay on a few years and help maintain the family of birds before raising their own offspring.
