We captured a particularly exciting 'first-of-season' today, an American Three-toed Woodpecker! This bird was beautiful hatch-year male that had been hanging out around our research site the last couple of days. We had a great time talking about woodpeckers today with our station visitors; we also captured a female Hairy Woodpecker and were able to compare the differences between these two incredible year-round Alaska residents! Do you know the major differences between the two?
