After having eluded me for months, I finally managed to see a Green Woodpecker again! I often hear their laugh-like call, but haven’t been able to see them for a while. They’re one of my favourites!
If you haven’t heard their calls yet, I strongly encourage you to go to YouTube and listen to them — they’re fantastic. They really sound like someone’s laughing at you.
Wow this is a great shot! I just checked out their call and you’re right they do have a laughing quality. Here’s a youtube link for others https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNcwwVGCukc
