American Three-toed Woodpecker / Picoides dorsalis

This beautiful American Three-toed Woodpecker was just a few minutes' walk from the tiny Northern Pygmy-owl. It's so dark in amongst the trees and this handsome guy, with his gorgeous yellow head patch, is usually either too high in a tree or is surrounded by annoying branches and twigs. I was lucky, for just a moment, to get a clear shot. I lucked out with getting the head sharp enough, too - as with many Woodpecker species, their head is constantly pecking away at the tree trunk, resulting in so many blurry shots : )
