What is pink and hunts like a treetop flycatcher?
They look and behave differently from our Acorn and Nuttall's Woodpeckers. It has me doubting that they are woodpeckers at all. I think I'll take this up with the experts at the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology. (AKA dead bird museum) www.wfvz.org/index.php
Scientific name: Melanerpes striatus
Common name: Spaniolan woodpecker
Nombre: Pájaro carpintero, Carpintero de La Española

Remarks / Observaciones: "Hispaniolan Endemic"
This Nuttall's woodpecker is coming everyday to drink from my hummingbird feeder.
Nuttall's woodpecker has black wings and tail feathers with white barring. On the ventral surface, colour is white with black spots and barring. It has a black forehead with white streaks on the sides and an unbarred black region at the top of the back. Adult males have a distinguishable red crown which females do not. However, this physical feature is present in the juvenile of both sexes. They have zygodactyl feet and stiff tail feathers which allows them to maintain a vertical position on trees; typical of woodpeckers. The mass of the Nuttall's woodpecker ranges from 30 to 45 g (1.1 to 1.6 oz), with a body length of 16 to 18 cm (6.3 to 7.1 in).
