We have 50+ acres of woodland, and we’re always planting more trees, so we have plenty of massive, old, dead trees, which are their favorites for finding beetles and bugs and for living quarters.

The ones we have here are: Red Headed, Red Bellied, Downy and Hairy. Downy and Hairy look alike, except the Hairy is about 2x the size of the Downy.

We’re too far south for the Pileated, (Woody Woodpecker-type) which prefer our Northern woodlands, but they do pass through once in a great while.
