Woodpeckers

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.

Yes. Some examples are the golden-tailed woodpecker, the ground woodpecker, the cardinal woodpecker, and many more.

You find woodpeckers in the forest (although that's probably not the answer you were looking for). If you want to see one, put out suet (a type of bird food you will probably see in a store) and a few should start coming anywhere from a week later to never.

It makes holes so that it can use its barbed tongue to grab bugs inside the tree.

Members of Picidae are typically monogamous, with a few species breeding cooperatively and some polygamy reported in a few species. Polyandry, where a female raises two broods with two separate males, has also been reported in the West Indian Woodpecker. A pair will work together to help build the nest, incubate the eggs and raise their altricial young. However, in most species the male does most of the nest excavation and takes the night shift while incubating the eggs. A nest will usually consist of 2-5 round white eggs. Since these birds are cavity nesters, their eggs do not need to be camouflaged and the white color helps the parents to see them in dim light. The eggs are incubated for about 11-14 days before the chicks are born. It takes about 18-30 days before the young are ready to leave the nest.

The red cockaded woodpecker adapted to life in southern pine forests, because many of the boring insect larva it consumes are found there. The bird makes its home in pine trees, and as the hole is excavated, sap runs from the pine tree and encircles the hole. This discourages snakes and other predators.

Absolutely, they are birds, and fly quite well

Yes! The reason I know this is, I have a woodpecker in my yard,who I hear very frequently just pecking away like theres no tomorrow! I have even seen this little cutie! He live in a tree that is no more than half a foot away from my bathroom window. Sometimes I spy on him at night,sneaking very quietly to next to the window! He (or she) is very beautiful from what I can see of him!The bird in question usually comes out at anywhere between 8:30 and 10:00 P.M. He is out in the day too,but maybe he has trouble sleeping,or wants a midnight snack once in a while! (LOL!)
