Arizona Woodpecker
Picoides arizonae
Tree Clinging
Length: 8 in. (19 cm )
Occurring only in pine-oak woodlands of western mountains, this woodpecker is often quite tame and easy to see as it pecks the surface of trunks and dead limbs at low to medium heights in the trees. It eats mainly insects but also fruit and acorns. Frequently the Arizona Woodpecker joins mixed species foraging flocks of titmice, bushtits and nuthatches. The nest is a cavity in a dead branch of a broad-leafed tree.
The four-digit banding code is STWO.
