Woodpeckers have a tough time on Grand Cayman. All of the large trees were cut down long ago. Many of the largest of the regrowth trees on the island were killed by Hurricane Ivan which stalled over Grand Cayman for 36 hours before resuming it's track for it's appointment with the Gulf Coast in 2004. We were lucky enough to see a pair of Northern Flicker, which are listed as resident on the island and this bird which is the West Indian Woodpecker.
