Woodpeckers

It may be easier to say where woodpeckers are not found. Woodpeckers are birds that are represented around the world except Australia, New Zealand, Madagascar and the extreme latitudes toward the poles. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on these interesting birds. You'll find that link below.

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.

woodpeckers peck on cedar siding because they think it is a tree and are looking for bugs that they sally find in trees or in the red headed woodpeckers case think it is a dead tree and a good place to start carving out there nest whole

Only about an inch and a half as a hatchling.

A elephant could eat to 200-500-70-800 pounds a day.The elephant's cubs can eat just about half the amount of a adult/70-100 pounds a day and then the baby can eat just about the same as a adult but instead it will go on to another place to carry birth to be leaving the family at 3-7 years and then eat 200-30-79-340-599 pounds and also it will just keep eating to 400 pounds and then at 7-9 years it will eat 700 pounds then at 11 years at adult age it will eat 800-900 pounds

No, not carnivores, but insectivores yes

camouflage, their color pattern blends in well with the bark of trees

Per the IUCN, this Critically Endangered woodpecker is possibly already extinct, with the primary reason being loss of habitat, but also over-hunting for use in folk medicines and as a food source.

See the related link listed below for further reading:

This species has been in trouble for nearly 130 years. When the great riverine forests of the southern swamps were clearcut, the species began to vanish. Assumed extinct since 1944, one bird was videotaped in an Arkansas swamp in 2004. Since then, birds have been observed in other southern states, and even more video obtained from Louisiana's Pearl River Basin.

No. Vermin are usually small to medium sized pests of the mammal class rodentia. This means that while mice, rats, and raccoons are vermin, birds such as the woodpecker are not.

It's the golden fronted woodpecker. A woodpecker of the genus Melanerpes, related to red headed, red bellied and gila woodpeckers.

yes they are, but there is two types of red headed wood peckers. the ones that are endangerd have 2 white stripes running down there back. the other ones have no stripes what so ever. Hope this helps

For several reasons. One is to get the insects in the tree, another is to get the sap, another is to store food, generally for winter.

poor thing is hungry, try offering a different food source away from your home.

It feeds on insects which carry diseases to the Saguaro Cactus. The cactus begins to die, but the Gila Wood pecker 'saves' the cactus, you could say, by eating the insects and the harmed part of the cactus. The insects do not harm the bird.

The ivory bill was never a common species, and suffered greatly when the great southern swamp forests were logged extensively after the Civil War through the 1930's. Entire forests were cut down, and the birds had fewer and fewer places to go. Believed to be extinct for 60 years, a lone bird was videotaped in Arkansas in February 2004. Further searches in the area yielded evidence (albeit sketchy) that more than one bird was present. The bird in the video showed no red on the crest, and top woodpecker experts from Cornell Lab of Ornithology determined it was a female.

However, seven of the nine sightings in the search area told of seeing red on the bird's crest, indicating a male was also present. The team also recorded good audio of ivory bill "kent" calls, the sound the bird makes to communicate, along with the distinctive "double knock", made when the bird strikes the wood twice in quick succession, a habit known only to Campephilus woodpeckers.

Other states have since had evidence of this species. The Carolinas and Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana to be precise. Florida had numerous sightings by professor Geoff Hill's team from Auburn University, which included some video and audio evidence as well.

But the best evidence recently comes from Michael Collins, who has been searching Louisiana's Pearl River Basin, which was historically an ivory bill stronghold.

Collins has video of several encounters, which has been determined to be ivory bills by experts.

This evidence can be found on many sites now by googling Mike Collins ibwo evidence.

.the male is slightly smaller than the female also the male pigeons chest is a light grey where as the female pigeon has a sort of purpley chest and is quite fat.

hope this helps

The third largest woodpecker in the world is the Ivory Billed Woodpecker. Extremely rare, it is 2 feet with a wingspan of 3 feet!

it depends on the breed

Some woodpecker species have three toes, two pointing forward and one backward. Some have four toes, with two pointing forward and two pointing backward.

Woodpeckers live mostly in cavities in trees, but some have adapted to living in cacti in the Southwest US.

The red bellied woodpecker mostly eats small bugs like grasshoppers, Beatles and worms and some times crickets. It also eats fruit like grapes, oranges and apples. They also eat berries of the bushes.

no.finches are related to sparrows.

long eared owls have long tufts of feathers that appear to be ears, which is how they got their name, which will perk up when they feel threatend to make them appear larger. they also have flattened faces, forward faceing sensitive eyes, and sharp ears to help them hunt.
