Woodpeckers

Species featured in this collection

Woodpeckers are the carpenters and percussionists of the backyard. Hammering, climbing, drilling for grubs, drumming on the gutter at six in the morning. The species in this collection are some of the most iconic backyard birds in North America.

• Pileated Woodpecker. The crow-sized one with the flame-red crest. Unmistakable, dramatic, and a favorite for larger prints and bold apparel.
• Downy Woodpecker. The small, friendly, black-and-white feeder regular. The easiest woodpecker to draw from your kitchen window.
• Hairy Woodpecker. Downy's bigger lookalike. The pair of them are a classic birder ID puzzle and a favorite for matched-set designs.
• Red-bellied Woodpecker. Despite the name, the red is mostly on the head. A common eastern backyard bird and a strong design subject.
• Northern Flicker. The brown, ground-feeding woodpecker that almost doesn't look like a woodpecker until it flies and flashes yellow or red under the wings.
• Acorn Woodpecker. Western, social, granary-building, clown-faced. A cult favorite for west-coast birders.

Why birders love this collection

Woodpeckers are usually somebody's first "wait, what was THAT" bird. They're loud, structurally interesting, and visible even to people who weren't trying to bird. The designs here lean into that personality with a mix of realistic illustration and bolder, more graphic treatments. Strong gift category for new birders and for anyone who has a specific feeder visitor they'd recognize anywhere.
