There are many kinds of Woodpeckers in canyon country. They can be seen or heard in almost any forested area. They are distinctive in their black, white, and often red feathers, and they stand out from most other birds in that they are seen on the sides of trees rather than perched upon branches. See also Northern Flicker.
The main photo on this page was taken near White Pine Lake in the Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah. The four photos of the Pileated Woodpecker were taken from a campground near West Glacier, Montana, on the western edge of Glacier National Park.
