Woodpeckers at Hachiro-toge Pass(Hachiro-toge-no Kitsutsuki)

八郎峠のキツツキ

Above your head you can hear wood pecking sounds

While taking a break at Hachiro-toge Pass, you may hear a dry pecking sound above your head. That would be a woodpecker: a small-sized Japanese pygmy woodpecker distinguished by its grayish-brown body with a white mottled pattern.
