About These Birds
Bay Woodpecker
The Bay Woodpecker is a large, rufous-brown woodpecker of the montane forests of the eastern Himalayas through to southeastern Asia. It has a barred rufous back, red head markings in males, and a powerful chisel-like bill. It excavates tree bark for insects, larvae, and ants in dense subtropical and montane forest.
Dunenspecht
Der Dunenspecht ist der kleinste und am weitesten verbreitete Specht Nordamerikas. Seine geringe Größe erlaubt ihm die Nahrungssuche an dünnen Zweigen und Pflanzenstängeln, die größeren Spechten unzugänglich sind. Im Winter schließt sich der Dunenspecht häufig gemischten Vogelschwärmen an und profitiert von der erhöhten Wachsamkeit mehrerer Arten gegenüber Fressfeinden.
