- s1artibartfast 6y agoUnlikely. AS I understand it, most woodpeckers are not migratory.
- dmoy 6y agoRight but the federal migratory bird act covers a ton of birds that aren't what you or I would consider migratory For whatever reason, basically every species of woodpecker in the US is classified as migratory non-game, and thus it's federally illegal to hunt them The only way you can legally shoot a woodpecker is with a depredation permit by the USFWS
