LINEATED WOODPECKER Dryocopus lineatus
Of the big woodpeckers, the Lineated is the one you will come across most often. He´s an adaptable bird, as likely to turn up in dry chaco scrub as he is in a lush humid forest. The Lineated is a Drycopus woodpecker, which means he doesn´t produce the "double-drum" typical of the other genus of big woodpeckers, the Campephilus.
