Ladder-backed Woodpecker

Picoides scalaris

Description:

Walking out into my yard I heard this little guy singing and had to run back into the house to grab my camera and try to capture her (I believe) with my lens. We played hide and seek for about 10 minutes.

Habitat:

Trees and brush in the southwest United States.

Thanks! It was hard even getting these shots as it flitted from tree to tree.

Good catch! I tried once to get a pic and he/she was moving all over the place and I never got a clear pic!

This guy gave me a merry chase. He liked to flit from high branch to high branch in our oak tree.
