About These Birds
Bennett's Woodpecker
Bennett's Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker of dry open woodland, bush, and savanna in eastern and southern Africa. Males have a red cap and malar stripe, while both sexes show heavily spotted and barred brown-and-white plumage. It forages on tree trunks and on the ground for ants and other insects.
Arabian Woodpecker
The Arabian Woodpecker is a near-threatened woodpecker from montane forests of the Arabian Peninsula, weighing about 27 grams with a wingspan near 22 cm. It is the only woodpecker native to the Arabian Peninsula, excavating nest cavities and foraging for insects in the bark of trees in highland woodlands. Habitat loss in its restricted montane forest range poses ongoing threats.
