I spotted this woodpecker working on one of the trees out back today. The tree is a hackberry and from the sound of his rapping on the branches, it might be a casualty of the drought. But losing a hackberry isn’t a great loss.
I think this is a Ladder-backed woodpecker.
Apologies for the crummy photo quality. He was way up near the top of the tree and I had to use my 12x zoom. He didn’t seem very perturbed though, he paid no attention to me as I walked under the tree trying to get a shot.
