The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major

The most numerous species of woodpeckers in the forests. In winter, you can hear it on the tops of trees. And in warm times, he descends lower and lower the subtree. Especially in the spring he likes to rob anthills.

The white-backed woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos)

This species is much less common. I see him only in the fall, obviously he often wanders along with other bird species. And with the beginning of spring begins to look for a couple to hollow out the hollow and start offspring.
Unlike a large woodpecker, males have a red cap in the entire length of their heads, as well as stripes on the abdomen.

The three-toed woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus)

And this buddy is even less than the previous one. They probably live in coniferous forests, and with the advent of colds and the disappearance of insects, they begin to roam. He is remarkable for the presence of only three fingers on each leg, from which he got his name. As well as a bright yellow hat on the head (in males).
