Lewis's Woodpecker Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: Yeah. This is it. We have Lewis's Woodpeckers in South Dakota, but unfortunately I live on the wrong side of the state, and it's at least a 5-hour drive to get to somewhere where I might possibly expect to find one. I've seen them in the Black Hills on several occasions, and have seen them elsewhere in our travels in the western US, but I haven't ever had a good photo opportunity. This is all I have...two VERY long distance photos in the western Black Hills of South Dakota from July of 2019.
