    Woodpecker knocks

    Can woodpeckers be ID'd by the sound of their knocks?  I hear woodpeckers quite a bit but not always able to see them.  I figured each one had a distinct "wood peck".  Anybody know?

    Yes they can, but I'm not great at it myself.  A neat book to check out if you can is The Singing Life of Birds. It touches on the subject.
