Calls Merlin identified as Ladder-backed woodpecker at 7.50 and 1:29.70.
Observation details
I've been seeing Ladderback Woodpeckers almost daily in the eucalyptus snags of the same grove. Today’s sighting was clear and close. Call identified by Merlin. Later saw and heard the more common Nuttals woodpecker nearby. Ladder-backed was significantly smaller than the Nuttals woodpecker I saw a couple minutes later. Stubby tail, small bill, breast more white with less markings, black and white bars on back continuous to its neck. Call recorded 2x, both identified by Merlin as Ladder-back woodpecker. Drum heard and I think it is on the recording, but not identified by Merlin, light and very rapid.
