	Black Woodpecker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Black Woodpecker, Dryocopus martius, is a large woodpecker.
		It lives in mature forest across the northern palearctic.
		The plumage of this crow-sized woodpecker is entirely fl apart from the red crest.

	NationMaster.com - Encyclopedia: Woodpecker
		Woodpeckers gained their English name because of the habit of some species of tapping and pecking noisily on tree trunks with their beaks.
		Woodpeckers cause property damage by drilling holes in wood and synthetic stucco siding and eaves, and are an annoyance when hammering or "drumming" on houses.
		Woodpecker damage can be prevented or eliminated with several techniques including visual repellents, loud noises, exclusion, alternate construction materials, providing nesting boxes, and as a last resort, killing.

	* Woodpecker - (Animals): Definition
		Woodpeckers are known for tapping on tree trunks in order to find insects living in crevices in the bark and to excavate nest cavities.
		Woodpeckers live an average of four to 11 years and can be found in wooded areas all over the world, except in Australia.
		The aye-aye is specialized as a night-time primate "woodpecker." It taps trees with its long middle finger, listens intently with its huge ears for wood-boring grubs under the bark, exposes them by gnawing with its rodent-like,...

	Black Rat Snake
		Black Rat Snakes are known to climb rafters in barns and similar buildings.
		Black Rat Snakes are powerful constrictors, which means once they catch their prey, they wrap their body around it and squeeze until the animal suffocates.
		Black Rat Snakes are not poisonous, and are not interested in humans, but they will bite if threatened.

		So this study was carried out to understand the ecology of sympatric woodpeckers to determine their resource utilization patterns (foraging behaviour, nest sites and habitat requirements), their densities in natural forests and plantations and thereby draw up strategies for conservation of woodpeckers and management of their habitats.
		Woodpeckers differed, statistically, from one another in several foraging parameters: foraging behaviour, substrate size, diameter at breast height of the foraging tree, tree height and foraging height.
		The densities of woodpeckers were lower in tropics in comparison to the temperate regions and therefore larger areas need to be set aside for conserving ecologically functional populations of woodpeckers.

	Black Woodpecker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As big as a crow and twice the size of its nearest British relative, the great spotted woodpecker, it is traditionally a bird of Central European forests, but it has been spreading westwards for the past 50 years.
		Black woodpeckers are purposeful, strong flyers which often travel several miles cross-country between nesting, roosting and foraging sites.
		The birds are striking in appearance, jet fl except for an ivory-coloured bill and a scarlet crown.

	Woodpecker family
		Woodpeckers are often a "core species" of the woodland avifauna [except in two major areas that don't have any woodpeckers: Australasia and Madagascar].
		I call woodpeckers "core species" because their presence is a fundamental requirement to the existence of a wide range of other birds.
		Woodpeckers drill new nest holes each year, and thus many old nest cavities are available for a entire suite of hole-nesting species.

	L³ - The Lewis And Clark Rediscovery Project
		This bird is about the size of the lark woodpecker or the turtle dove, tho' it's wings are longer than either of those birds.

		The eye is moderately large, purple fl and iris of a dark yellowish brown.

	Black-backed Woodpecker
		This woodpecker usually inhabits high elevation spruce/fir forest especially those with windfalls, burned areas and a lot of standing dead trees.
		The fl-backed often shares its habitat with the similar three-toed woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus), which differs in that its back is decorated with a conspicuous white ladder pattern.
		The breeding biology of this woodpecker is not well known although it seems to prefer fir trees with a cavity below a branch.

		Black-backed Woodpeckers occur from New England and eastern Canada, across Canada to southern Alaska and south in the Rocky Mountains to Wyoming.
		The Black-backed Woodpecker is found in association with subalpine fir/ Engelman spruce in higher elevations, and ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine forests at lower elevations (Jackman 1974, Short 1982).
		It is important to recognize though, that large-scale disturbances may be more important in maintaining their populations now, then in historical times, due to the reduction of all old-growth forests and the increase in "salvage" logging techniques which remove dying, and recently killed, trees throughout North America.

	The Arctic Three-toed Woodpecker
		This curious species of Woodpecker is found in the northern parts of the State of Massachusetts, and in all portions of Maine that are covered by forests of tall trees, in which it constantly resides.
		The number of these Woodpeckers is greatly increased in the State of Maine during winter, by accessions from Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Labrador, in all which countries I have found the species in summer, but where, if I am rightly informed, few remain during severe winters.
		The general colour of the upper parts is deep glossy fl, the head with blue reflections, the back with green.

		American Three-toed Woodpeckers have fl and white barred backs, fl wings, white breasts, fl and white barred flanks, fl tails with white outer tail feathers, and fl heads with white moustchial and (usually) post-ocular stripes.
		The quantity and distribution of mature and old-growth forests probably limit their numbers, and data suggest that North American populations are declining, probably because of fire suppression and logging practices that do not leave the diseased and dying timber that hosts their main food source.
		American Three-toed Woodpeckers are uncommon to rare permanent residents in Washington's mountainous conifer forests from the Cascade crest east.

		Santharam¹ The Indian Great Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus javensis) is the second largest woodpecker in the Indian subcontinent and the largest in the Western Ghats.
		Nesting season lasts from December to May. Sites with Great Black woodpeckers were significantly different from those that did not have the birds in having larger-sized trees both in terms of height and DBH values.
		The conservation implications based on the present findings are that large, dead/dying trees are essential for the survival of the woodpecker and that large stretches of forest areas have to be set aside for its conservation.
