Apparently this is among the least studied of all woodpeckers. Funny thing that I pretty much see these every day around the house, drinking a bit of water, having a bite of food, hanging out on a nearby tree. You know the usual stuff.

Here’s my observational note to add to the research. White headed woodpeckers like corn.

They also like to store things in the crevices of incense cedars.

She spent a good long while going up and down the side of this tree checking out and poking into the various cracks. A job well done, Ms. Woodpecker.
