Why it matters
Named after explorer Meriwether Lewis, this woodpecker is distinct among its kin for its broad wings and pointed tail, which allow it to fly more like a jay or crow than a typical tree-climber. Collectors prize specimens for the species' striking iridescent plumage, a feature that distinguishes it from the more common, spotted woodpeckers found across North America.
