Reading this post got me to thinking about the woodpeckers that are in my back yard...I am in south-central Texas. After looking up the birds of Brazos Valley, I find that we do have the Pileated woodpeckers, but those in my back yard are the red-bellied woodpecker. Thanks for such an interesting post!

Hi Native Texan!
Just so you know, you also have another woodpecker that is pretty much exclusively a "native Texan" like you. It's called the golden-fronted woodpecker, and in America, it's only found in Texas! (And a tiny stretch of Oklahoma.)
Nice bird, but not easy to find, even in Texas.
Good luck!

I love Woodpeckers, we have seen all of the varieties except maybe the Golden Fronted. About 3 years ago I watched 2 male Pileateds fighting over a female, that was quite a sight!
