Bearded Woodpecker
The Bearded Woodpecker is a large, boldly marked woodpecker of savanna woodlands and dry forests in eastern and southern Africa. It has black-and-white facial striping, a red crown in males, and a long, powerful bill adapted for excavating dead trees. It feeds on wood-boring beetle larvae, ants, and other insects found in bark and dead wood.
