I think that it might refer to a flicker, which is common and certainly =
appears striped

Tuma, I'd like to add another similar candidate to John's suggestion, =
namely the red-bellied woodpecker, which is a southern species that =
irrupts northward as we know at irregular intervals that depend on =
weather and oak crops and that woodpecker's reproduction.  This species =
has a ladder back of stripes similar to the American three-toed =
woodpecker.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

  Hi Tuma,
  I would suggest this refers to the American Three-toed Woodpecker =
which is a rare bird in Nova Scotia. In the Maritimes it is most likely =
to found in the boreal forest of Cape Breton Island and New Brunswick. =
It is believed to have been more common in the past.

  I am looking for another English common name for the "Striped =
Woodpecker."    The old Mi'kmaq reader that I am using to find Mi'kmaq =
names refers to a "Striped Woodpecker."  I have checked McAtee "Folks =
Names of Canadian Birds"-no mention of a "Striped Woodpecker" in it.  =
What are your thoughts on which bird this may refer to.
