The Arizona Woodpecker was once known as the Strickland's Woodpecker and is a bird species still found in southern Mexico. This soft brown-coloured woodpecker is found mostly in southeast Arizona, located in what is called the Sky islands. These are tall mountains rising from the desert floor and some are higher than 10,000 ft. These woodpeckers can be seen in locations near Tucson. This woodpecker is common around backyard feeders and has a fancy for peanut butter that has been spread onto the bark of a tree.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
