About These Birds

Bennett's Woodpecker

Bennett's Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker of dry open woodland, bush, and savanna in eastern and southern Africa. Males have a red cap and malar stripe, while both sexes show heavily spotted and barred brown-and-white plumage. It forages on tree trunks and on the ground for ants and other 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.
