About These Birds
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.
Ashy Woodpecker
The Ashy Woodpecker is a large woodpecker endemic to Sulawesi and the Sula Islands in Indonesia. Weighing about 312g with a wingspan near 36cm, it is one of the larger woodpeckers in its region and is predominantly pale grey. It forages on large trees in primary and tall secondary forest for insects and larvae.
