About These Birds

Abyssinian Woodpecker

The Abyssinian Woodpecker weighs about 25g and is endemic to Ethiopian and Eritrean highland forests. It excavates nest cavities and probes bark for wood-boring insects.

Black-backed Woodpecker

The Black-backed Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker of boreal conifer forests across North America, particularly specialist of recently burned forests. It has entirely black upperparts, white underparts with barring on the sides, and males have a yellow crown patch. It forages by flaking bark from dead trees to extract wood-boring beetle larvae that colonize burned timber.
