Cream-colored Woodpecker

While the Cream-colored Woodpecker does not carry the stardom and obscure status of an Ivory-billed Woodpecker, according to our guide, it is still relatively uncommon in the Manu Biosphere. In fact, our two boat attendees, both great birders, who have grown up on the Manu River, had never seen one before. However, BirdLife International notes that because the species has a large range and despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion. Either way, we all felt very fortunate to see one and I felt happy to be able to capture a frame without a lot of foliage in the way.  I can only imagine what it would be like to spot an Ivory-billed Woodpecker, surly the Holy Grail for birders.

    Now that’s a bird of a whole ‘nuther color! I’ve never seen a bird of that hue. Very unique. It’s so unique it looks artificial like those found in Asian and Dollar Tree stores. In fact…Doug! You didn’t! Doug? Noooooooooooooo!

    Most beautiful and unusual! Actually looks like a wood carving. Have you taken up a new hobby? 🙂
