A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Picoides dorsalis
A medium-sized black-and-white woodpecker with limited white on back and heavy barring on flanks.
Coniferous forests across western Canada, Alaska and the midwestern United States.
I have found this bird hard to photograph because I normally see it in dense forests where it is difficult to find good light. This one briefly came into the open.

Great picture of a woodpecker that's a hard bird to find!
