About These Birds
Black-necked Woodpecker
The Black-necked Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker with barred black-and-white back, a yellow crown and nape, and a distinctive black collar across the lower throat. It is endemic to Peru, inhabiting deciduous and semi-deciduous forest along the western Andean slopes and adjacent inter-Andean valleys. It forages on tree trunks and branches, excavating insects from bark and searching for ants.
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.
