This Hairy Woodpecker carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. Similar to the Downy Woodpecker, the Hairy Woodpecker is generally identified by its white back. The Hairy Woodpecker is much larger that the Downy with a larger bill and the feathers on its outer tail are entirely white. Birds in the Pacific Northwest have pale, gray-bown back and under-parts. Rocky Mountain birds have less white spotting on the wings. Juveniles, particularly in the Maritime Provinces of Canada, have some barring on the back and flanks and the sides my be streaked. Juveniles on the Queen Charlotte Islands have heavily barred outer-tail feathers. In young males, the forehead is spotted with white; the crown is streaked with red or orange. The calls of the Hairy Woodpecker include a loud, sharp peek and a slurred whinny. Fairly commin in both open and dense forests.
