No they don't. They peck the holes looking for bugs to eat. They chip away sections of the bark and tree hunting for insects that live in the tree. Check out the article http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0008701 It contains a description of how and why woodpeckers drill the holes.
The Pileated Woodpecker is still common in North America. Its relative, the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, is very rare and may be extinct.
They don't..The trees are in full leaf at that time of year, and the birds are less likely to be observed because of the heavy foliage.
You could go to a local library,and ask the librarians to give you books on it. You could also look for articles on it in the newspaper,magazines,or other resources. You could also go to the Discovery channel and watch for programs about it.
The average pigeon is nearly 2 inches bigger than the average woodpecker. The largest woodpeckers, such as a pileated woodpecker, are much larger than pigeons.
Humans are a major factor. I am not an expert, but I can help a little bit. Humans cut down trees that woodpeckers nest in and feed from. Destroying habitats, polluting skies, and killing prey contribute to the demise of the woodpecker.
