About These Birds
Black-headed Woodpecker
The Black-headed Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker with a distinctive glossy black head and neck, green back and wings, and a contrasting red rump. It inhabits open woodland, deciduous forest, and forest edges from Myanmar through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. It forages on tree trunks and branches for wood-boring beetles, ants, and other insects, excavating with its strong bill.
African Piculet
The African Piculet is a remarkably small woodpecker with a wingspan of under 10 cm and a weight of only about 9 g. Found in West and Central African forests, it probes bark and small branches for insects with its short bill.
