Picoides nuttallii
Nuttall's woodpecker
Hastings Reservation, Monterey County, CA
20 Aug 1940, watched a ♂ Nuttalls Woodpecker feeding on Poison
Oak berries, about 50 meters SE of the Finch Creek Bridge
The Rhus vine was loosely wrapped around the base of a Valley
Oak. The woodpecker simply hung on the thin outer twigs
about 3 meters off the ground, plucking about five green
berries before flying off.
