Our latest one-page field guide has photos of the six kinds of woodpeckers that we see around Oak Park. Some are here year-round, others are only seen during spring and fall migration.

There is also a checklist version of the field guide, available here:
We used the woodpeckers checklist as a scavenger hunt at Wonder Works, a Children’s Museum in Oak Park. The children searched the museum for small posters of the woodpeckers on the checklist. When they found a poster, they recorded its code on the checklist.
