Arizona Woodpecker

- The Arizona Woodpecker (Leuconotopicus Arizonae) is a unique, medium-sized bird whose United States range is almost entirely restricted to the mountain ranges of southeastern Arizona and the extreme southwestern tip of New Mexico
- It is famous among birders as the only North American woodpecker with a predominantly brown and white (rather than black and white) color pattern
- Measures roughly 7 to 8 inches in length
- Because their overall population is limited, they are on birding watchlists ... to spot one, you must head into the canyon trails of the southern Arizona mountains: Madera Canyon (Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson); Chiricahua National Monument and Cave Creek Canyon (Chiricahua Mountains); Miller Canyon and Ramsey Canyon (Huachuca Mountains)
