Here's another photo of a female Pale-billed Woodpecker. The sex of this bird is indicated by the black forecrown and black center crown amidst brilliant red feathers. I'm always amazed when I see Campephilus woodpeckers out in the open, in such a stark setting, when I consider the dense bottomland forest that their northern relative, the Ivory-billed Woodpecker has called home!

very beautiful bird! I like woodpeckers very much. Unfortunately, it's not very easy to photograph them in Greece, except a couple of common species
