BOTD: Black-backed Woodpecker

Photo: Julio Mulero

"Generally uncommon, but not so quiet or inconspicuous as the American Three-toed Woodpecker. Where the two species are found together, the Black-backed usually dominates, perhaps driving the Three-toed away from choice feeding or nesting areas."

White headed Woodpecker Chilao 0526 by Pekabo Via Flickr: "The Station Fire (2009) was started by an arsonist in the Angeles National Forest, north of Los Angeles. It was the largest fire in Los Angeles County’s recorded history, burning a total of 161,189 acres – or nearly 252 square miles. " The White headed Woodpecker "...prefers to dwell in burned or cut forests where residual, large-diameter live and dead trees prevail; they require the tall, living trees as much as the burned ones. " Jerry and I have hiked Angeles Crest a lot over the years. I don't remember seeing or hearing these wonderful birds. After the fire the area was stark, bleak, and blackened. I had a big lump in my throat looking at the damage done by the fire. On this trip it looked greener. ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S27912635
