The Huachuca Mountains in Coronado National Forest have also provided me with a Strickland's Woodpecker, also referred to as the Arizona Woodpecker. The male as seen below has a red patch in the back of its head. Although, fairy common in its range, the range is quite narrow just barely extending into Southern Arizona from Mexico. It is found in pine and mixed oak forests between 4,500 and 7,000 feet, as was this one.
