West Indian Woodpecker

The West Indian Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker of drier forests.


Its strongly barred back eliminates all other species in it range except for Northern and Fernandina’s Flickers, but both flickers lack the West Indian Woodpecker’s extensively red nape and hind-crown. Cornell All About Birds


We found West Indian Woodpeckers to be a fairly common sight in Cuba.


And were lucky enough to have a nest mere metres from our lodging.
