Figure 1. Distribution of the Three-toed Woodpecker in North America.

Distribution of the Three-toed Woodpecker in North America. During winter, individuals often move to lower elevations or to areas just outside of the breeding range. Extralimital winter observations are most frequently recorded south of the distribution shown, but winter irruptions of greater distances occur on rare occasions. See text for details.
