This gregarious and huge woodpecker is a ton of fun to watch because they do typical woodpecker things (like pecking wood) but also will hawk insects from mid-air like a flycatcher does. They are loud and will perch out in the open unlike many other peckers. They have a huge range throughout the western United States including pine forests but also they enjoy some palm habitats in Arizona and other desert states. My first three photos are from Colorado in 2021 but the last is from Arizona in 2014.
