About These Birds
Belted Kingfisher
물총새는 암컷이 수컷보다 더 화려하여 추가적인 붉은색 배 밴드를 가지는 것이 특이합니다. 이 시끄러운 새들은 독특한 덜컹거리는 소리로 영역을 알립니다. 강둑에 무거운 부리를 사용하여 최대 2.4m 깊이의 둥지 굴을 판다.
Downy Woodpecker
솜털딱따구리는 북아메리카에서 가장 작고 가장 널리 분포하는 딱따구리이다. 소형 체구 덕분에 더 큰 딱따구리가 접근할 수 없는 가는 나뭇가지와 잡초 줄기에서 먹이를 찾을 수 있다. 솜털딱따구리는 겨울에 혼종 무리에 합류하여 여러 종이 함께 포식자를 감시하는 이점을 얻는다.
