General Info

Distribution Area

The yellow-vented woodpecker is native to northwestern South America. Its range extends from upland Venezuela, through the eastern, central and western ranges of the Andes in Colombia to Ecuador and Peru. It is an upland species, its altitudinal range being from 1,000 to 2,700 m (3,300 to 8,900 ft), but it is seldom seen below 1,700 m (5,600 ft).

Species Status

The yellow-vented woodpecker is described as an uncommon species. Its population size has not been quantified but its population seems stable and it has a very large range, so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".
