About These Birds

Bennett's Woodpecker

東・南アフリカの乾燥した開けた林地に生息するキツツキ。雄は赤い頭頂を持ち、アリや昆虫を食べる。

Downy Woodpecker

The downy woodpecker is the smallest and most widespread woodpecker in North America. Its small size allows it to forage on thin branches and weed stems that larger woodpeckers cannot access. Downies often join mixed-species flocks in winter, benefiting from the extra vigilance of multiple species watching for predators.
