Woodpecker Range Map
The Black-backed Woodpecker is a year-round
resident, often locally, from western and central
Alaska, southern Yukon, northern Manitoba,
central Labrador and Newfoundland south to
southeastern British Columbia, through the
Cascade, Siskiyou and Warner Mountains and Sierra
Nevada of Washington and Oregon to central
California and west-central Nevada, through
Montana to northwestern Wyoming and southeastern
South Dakota and to southwestern and central
Alberta, southeastern Manitoba, northern
Minnesota, north-central Michigan, northern New
York and northern New England. The Black-backed
Woodpecker inhabits dense coniferous forests,
especially in burned, swampy, cutover or
beetle-killed forests where dead trees are
numerous.
