This
is the smallest woodpecker found in North America. It is common throughout much
of the United States and Canada, and can often be seen around dead trees or
telephone poles. Like other woodpeckers, it taps its beak like a drum as a
territorial display. It eats a variety of insects and their larvae, and some
berries and seeds. Birdfeeders with suit or peanut butter also attract this
woodpecker.
