Golden-cheeked woodpecker

Description:

It is endemic to Mexico, in the western, and southwestern coastal strip on the Pacific Ocean, and the western bordering regions of mountains of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. They are distributed in the coast from Sinaloa to Colima.

Habitat:

They live in arid or semi-humid forests, plantations, and in partially open areas with patches of trees. Most often these woodpeckers reside in the middle and upper levels of the forest where they search for beetles, ants, fruits, and seeds by themselves or in pairs.
