Woodpeckers

Woodpeckers are looking for food. They are looking for insects in the bark/tree.

All woodpeckers are fond of suet, which can be bought in one form or another at most stores.

they can't.only the hummingbird can.

fox,(hawks rare) and owls

no, they are warm blooded

The red bellied woodpecker make a pretty awesome sound, but I think the meadowlarks song is better

Like a regular nest like an oval

Generally speaking, the answer is "Birds of Prey." Hawks, Shrikes, Eagles, Osprey...and within issues of nest robbing, "Squirrels." http://www.britishcolumbia.com/wildlife/wildlife/birds/cw/cw_downywoodpecker.html

Yes, they have a strong grip on their claws that lets them peck on trees while hanging upside down.

He froze them and released them when you came out. Both of them flew to your hospital crib and pecked you in your head, which resulted in you asking this dumb question years later.

Hawks and Owls would be their main predator, but foxes and other ground dwelling predators will take advantage if they get the chance.

Woodpeckers have a pretty formidable weapon of their own, so even then most predators would think twice before tangling with one.

The red bellied woodpecker's tongue wraps around its brain, then down through their nostril and out of their mouth. Not all species of woodpeckers are like this. This very cool creature also has stiff tail feathers that help this bird while pecking and it acts like a tripod while on the tree. This amazing little creature has four toes on each foot. Two toes facing forwards and two toes facing backwards. This allows this little bird to stand vertically or horizontally with ease. Every time the woodpecker pecks, it closes it's eyes, then opens them, refocuses on it's target, closes them again and then pecks. The reason that the bird does this is to keep it's eyes from getting knocked out each time that it pecks. That is how much force is used. This bird also has feathers covering its little nostrils to help keep wood chips and debris out.

No it does nothing in lease the bird lives there in that tree

It's where they make their homes.

The disease is typically detected in middle age, after age 50.

Nothing. It means you saw a woodpecker.

That would be so unusual that birders from all over the country would be flocking to see it. It is probably a Northern Flicker. They are very similar in appearance (although a different species), and there is a yellow shafted race that is even more so. See the link below. Check red bellied woodpecker. It is a close cousin to the golden fronted and is very similar in appearance. It is not common in your area, but is present, and looks much more like a golden fronted than a flicker does.

They aren't, woodpeckers do not eat fish

In my part of the world - northern Idaho, the Red-Shafted Flicker is the most well-known and popular woodpecker.

Mostly, they peck on trees that contain insects, these are mostly sick or dying trees because of the insect infestation

a bird

The ivory bill was extant across the South when the first people came to this country. After the Civil War, forests in the South began to disappear under the axe of Northern speculators, who bought acres of land at dirt cheap prices from desperate, impoverished landowners. This went on for years, great stands of tupelo and cypress were lost, which meant the ivorybill had no place to go. The last birds were seen in the 40's, and it was thought to be extinct for 60 years, save for a small population of the Cuban ivory bill. Then, in 2004, an ivory billed woodpecker was found in the White River swamps of Arkansas, was captured even on video. Since then, they have been located as well in the panhandle of Florida by Dr.Geoff Hill of Auburn University, and have been seen in the Carolinas and Louisianam as well.

The cylindrical shape of a gutter spout looks like a tree branch to a woodpecker. The woodpecker is just looking for insects to eat.

For their ivory

Gila woodpeckers are very fast and do not have a lot of predators. However, they cannot escape hawks and other raptors, who do eat them.
