Mountain Moment: Hairy Woodpecker

Tap, tap, tap...

Tap, tap, tap...

Sometimes easier to hear than see, hairy woodpeckers (Picoides villosus) live year-round in Mount Rainier's forests. This male hairy woodpecker (note the red patch on the back of the head) was observed hunting for insects on a dead tree in the Carbon River area of the park.

NPS Video. Description: A black and white woodpecker with a red patch on the back of its head, pecks its beak against the trunk of a dead tree, flicking off pieces of bark and lichen. ~kl
