Woodpeckers are found throughout the United States. The three most widely distributed species are the hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus), the downy woodpecker (P. pubescens, Fig. 1), and the yellow-bellied sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius). Different species are responsible for damage in different regions.
