Fall is our favorite season, and the woodpeckers agree! With cooler temperatures upon us and leaves falling from the trees, Autumn kicks off the best time to see these colorful birds. #DidYouKnow woodpeckers drum not just for communication but also to find insects beneath the bark, sustaining the forest ecosystem? Their various vibrant plumage adds a splash of color to the autumn canvas. Take a look outside - you may just see one in your backyard! #WildlifeWednesday #AutumnWonders #Woodpeckers #FallBirdwatching #WildlifeWonder #Birding #Birdwatching 📸: NationalParkService Photo 1: Acorn Woodpecker in Bear Valley at PointReyesNPS Photo 2: Downy Woodpecker in MonocacyNPS Photo 3: Red-Bellied Woodpecker in EvergladesNPS Photo 4: Hairy Woodpecker at #TallgrassPrairieNationalPreserve
