About These Birds
Black-bodied Woodpecker
The Black-bodied Woodpecker is a large, Near Threatened woodpecker of humid forests in eastern Brazil, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina, with males showing mostly black plumage and a vivid red crest. It inhabits Atlantic Forest interior and forest fragments, excavating nest cavities in large trees. Ongoing deforestation and fragmentation of the Atlantic Forest threaten this species, which depends on large tracts of mature forest.
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.
