When it comes to woodpeckers, nature has been very generous to the Northwest. Some areas, like the Okanogan region in north-central Washington, host among the highest diversities of woodpecker species anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. You may spot the diminutive Downy Woodpecker or the imposing Pileated, Black-backed and Three-toed Woodpeckers, the White-headed Woodpecker, maybe even this Williamson's Sapsucker.
