Ladder-Backed Woodpecker
Dryobates scalaris
The Ladder-Backed Woodpecker is resident from the American Southwest from the Mojave Desert in California, east across southern Arizona and New Mexico, and into western Texas. Found year-round wherever they live, these birds are common from the southeast USA and southward over much of Mexico. Ladder-Backed Woodpeckers closely associate with cactus for both foraging and nesting.
Closely related to the Nuttall’s Woodpecker, there are differences (see <this link> for details).
