      1. Thanks. I know it can be an annoyance, but this is why it is important:

        All that you see there (check the photos - species - etc) links entirely depends on people selecting the country. So you're helping building up a rich catalog of Costa Rica :)

Hoffmann's woodpecker, ''Melanerpes hoffmannii'', is a resident breeding bird from southern Honduras south to Costa Rica. It is a common species on the Pacific slopes, locally as high as 2,150 m. It is expanding on the Caribbean slope, aided by deforestation. This is further facilitated by its tendency to wander about outside the breeding season.
