Here in Kentucky, we have 7 types of woodpeckers:
Downy Woodpecker
Hairy Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Red-headed Woodpecker
Pileated Woodpecker
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Northern Flicker
When a birder spots one of the less common woodpeckers, you might hear them say they want to "try for a seven woodpecker day", meaning they want to attempt to see all seven species in a single day. #birding
I nearly fell out of my chair when I spotted my first Pileated Woodpecker (female) in my backyard. Only moments later I spotted a Brown Creeper for the second time in my backyard. I love having my desk by the window. 🐦 #birding
First Brown Creeper in my backyard! 😍 #birding https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Brown_Creeper/id
A cold but beautiful morning. Not many people at the park so probably more birds. This is one of my favorite spots. Highlights: Dark-eyed Junco, Northern Flicker, Eastern Towhee, Eastern Phoebe, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Great Blue Heron, and a bunch of White-throated Sparrows.
