Woodpeckers

They do not eat trees, they eat insects, but if they find an insect in the bark of a dogwood tree they will eat it.

The endangered woodpeckers are the red cockaded and ivory billed. Protection of old growth forest is essential for their survival. The red headed woodpecker is listed as near threatened, but there has been some resurgence, such as the sandhill region of the coastal plain of North and South Carolina, where the bird is still fairly common.

The redheaded woodpecker's favorite nesting place is inside dead trees. They favor areas of burned or flooded forests. Red-headed Woodpeckers, on the 2006 Red List of Threatened Species, are driven off their home range by European Starlings, telephone poles being treated with cresote, and the removal of dead trees. We can help protect them by leaving dead limbs and underbrush for the birds to nest in.

Most do not. The sapsucker species retreat southwards in winter, but most woodpeckers are non migratory.

The longest living woodpecker is said to have lived 13 months. Woodpeckers protect themselves from predators by hiding or by making alarm calls.

No, squirrels usually eat nuts. They're not carnivorous.

The imperial woodpecker of Mexico may be extinct, as it has not been seen for decades.

If you get a look at the front of one you will see that his belly is reddish,not as red as the area on his head, but they already had a red headed woodpecker.

Tapping on wood is how woodpeckers locate grubs and insects inside the wood. They will do this to just about any exposed wood. If they start boring into the wood after insects, you definitely have insects. Woodpeckers might also peck at the wood if they decide to bore out a nesting cavity.

To answer this question is unfair cos all animals are important to the earth cos if one species dies out then others will increase causing over population and others will die out to extinction.so all animals are impoetant

The old mans been stealin

she's holdin the greevin for hundred odd years

we all keep believin

that history repeats itself year after year.

how fears that the future is worse

we have to give in to a hundred year curse

sweatin the sun like we're diggin a grave

dig deep enogh and our fortune is saved

(chorus)

if only if only the woodpecker sighs

the bark on the trees was as soft as the sky

as the wolf waits below hungy and lonely

he cries to the moo-oo-oon if only if only

chasin the sky our beautiful wife

you make mistakes and it's my back that breaks

and forever my prosteals my life

to submission I'm beat but there's hope beneath these feet

blisters and blood and the sun makes you blind

you don't let it eat ya it can't help but be kind

cause you know what's important with your back to the wall

you can break metal chains and your friends don't let you fall

if only if only the woodpecker sighs

the bark on the trees was as soft as the sky

as the wolf waits below hungry and lonely

he cries to the moo-oo-oon If only if only

I'm a sun but I found myself a plant

there's no use when I'm fighten my history fightin my history

i have no place I'm a light feather there's no use when I'm fighten my history fighten my history

I have no place I'm more like a feather but i can't fly away when I'm fighten myself

if only if only the woodpecker sighs

the bark on the trees was as soft as the sky

as the wolf waits below hungy and lonely

he cries to the moo-oo-oon if only if only

if only if only the woodpecker sighs

the bark on the trees was as soft as the sky

as the wolf waits below hungy and lonely

he cries to the moo-oo-oon if only if only

Woodpeckers peck for two reasons, to find food, or to signal that "this is my turf". So either the bird thinks there are some nice grubs in your doorstep, or he's discovered that it makes a usefully loud noise.

They like grums.

Ignorance, they think that woodpeckers eat wood, and are harmful to trees, its just the opposite.

Woodpeckers are a federally protected bird under the North American Migratory Bird Act.

It is illegal to kill one.

yes

An adaptation.

No. They both have crests, but the male's is a bright red and the female's is all black.

These birds are beneficial because of the large numbers of insect pests they eat.Depending on type, they eat many wood-boring insects, spiders, caterpillars, berries, and seeds. The Pileated primarily feeds on ants, although it will also eat wood-boring insects and berries.

How much time wood pecker peck on a tree in a second

The RATE is up to 20 times a second at a top SPEED of about 16 mph (7 m/sec).

No. Some are lazy and just look for pre-pecked holes.

The average is about 16 to 17 times a second, with a top rate of about 20 times a second.

On impact, the bill is traveling about 16 mph (7 m/sec).

Depends on the species. Most woodpeckers have black, white and red as part of the color scheme, but many have other colors as well. Consult a field guide for specifics on woodpecker coloration.
