The Ladder-Backed Woodpecker (Dryobates scalaris) is a small North American woodpecker that is found year-round in the American Southwest.  It is primarily black and white with a barred pattern on its back and wings.  The male adult has a red crown patch.  This woodpecker nests in cavities excavated from tree trunks or large cacti.  They use their chisel-like beak to dig for insects and larva and will also feed on cactus fruit.  This woodpecker was photographed perched on a branch in Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA.

Male yellow-bellied sapsucker on American basswood tree (aka linden). This tree is big and healthy despite accumulating thousands of sapsucker holes over the years. People may ask birdwatchers if they've ever seen this species, some mistakenly believing it's rare because of the unusual name. The sapsucker is a highly migratory woodpecker.
