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

Amazing Nature Moment Alert!
A female black bear at Great Smoky Mountains National Park wasn’t impressed with her male suitor and spent an hour in a tree barking at him to leave.
Getting to watch wildlife be wild is amazing! #TeamPublicLands members know how serious it is to give these creatures their space. Give em’ room, use a zoom. No zoom lens, no problem. You can still watch wildlife by staying a safe distance back, especially when viewing predator animals like bears. The safety of these animals, as well as your safety, depends on using good judgment.
