Lineated Woodpecker

This morning there was a huge Lineated Woodpecker near our house.  Lineated Woodpeckers can get up to 14 inches long and have huge crests on their heads.  They are native to southern Mexico and all the way down to northern Argentina.  Their diet consists mainly of insects and larvae and they are usually spotted pecking holes in trees to look for grubs.  Their lineated, or barred chest makes them easy to recognize and is what gives them their name.

Looking for grubs.

Here it is looking startled.
