(Greetings All)
So far, the front runner is the American Three-toed Woodpecker. Although
Peterson field guide states that that it is scarce, the range is well within
traditional Mi'kmaq territory (Gaspe', Northern NB, Nfld, Isle de Madeline) and
some folks indicated, it seemed to be more common in NS in the past.
The Downy, the Hairy, the Northern Flicker, and the Yellow bellied Sapsucker all
have specific names thus I can rule them out. However, the name for red-bellied
and red-head woodpecker is the same for all the woodpeckers (roughly translates
as "the bird that makes holes"). The reference to the Mi'kmaq name for a
Ivory-billed, I can safely guess that it really means the Pileated Woodpecker
because of the limited range for the Ivory-billed. I also have on my list, the
Golden-fronted, the ladder-backed and the Acorn which I can safely leave out of
the running but I do have pictures taken when we were in Texas.
Wela'li'oq (thank you all) for your help and I will declare for my project that
the "Striped Woodpecker" is the American Three-toed.
