I have a few woodpeckers. Everyday off the porch are the Downy, Hairy, and Red-bellied. Some days the Southern Flicker visits, and most days in Winter the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is about. In Summer have the Red-headed Woodpecker.
The largest and loudest in this area is the Southern Pileated Woodpecker, known to us cartoon loving kids of the 50's as Woody Woodpecker. It does not come to my feeders, but does show from time to time. Most any day it can be heard in this neighborhood due to being extremely loud.
A male came today as I rested with a cold one on the porch. This is not too bad a photo considering hand held and the distance. It is good enough to ID the bird which is always my goal.
