Spotted this large woodpecker high up in a tree at Werner-Boyce Salt Springs park in NPR. I wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for its loud hollow knocking on a dead trunk.

Their breeding habitat is forested areas with large trees across Canada, the eastern United States and parts of the Pacific coast.
