About These Birds
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.
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.
