	Woodpecker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Woodpeckers gained their English name because of the habit of some species of tapping and pecking noisily on tree trunks with their beaks.
		This is both a means of communication to signal possession of territory to their rivals, and a method of echo-locating grubs under the bark of the tree.
		Woodpeckers were named among the most intelligent birds based on this scale.

	Hairy Woodpecker
		The Hairy Woodpecker, P. villosus, is a constant resident in our maritime and inland districts, from the Texas, where I have found it numerous, to the State of New Hampshire, as well as in all sufficiently wooded tracts intervening between the junction of the Missouri and Mississippi, and the northern borders of our great lakes.
		Lively, noisy, and careless of man, the Hairy Woodpecker is found at all seasons in the orchards, among the trees of our cities, along the borders of plantations, on the fences, or on the trees left in the fields, as well as in the densest parts of the forests.
		It sometimes launches into the air after a passing one, as indeed is the case with all the Woodpeckers with which I am at present acquainted, although the larger species are less addicted to this mode of pursuing their prey than the smaller.

	Woodpecker at exZOOberance!
		Woodpecker, common name for any of a family of more than 200 species of birds known for their ability to cling to the trunks of trees and dig holes in the wood with their beaks.
		Woodpeckers generally nest in holes cut into the trunks of trees or even into giant cacti, the female depositing several shiny, white eggs in a soft bed of rotted chips at the bottom of the cavity.
		The imperial woodpecker is classified as Campephilus imperialis, the ivory-billed woodpecker as Campephilus principalis, and the pileated woodpecker as Dryocopus pileatus.

		In case you are wondering how woodpeckers know where to "drill" for their insect prey, it has to be their acute sense of hearing that enables them to detect the movements of the insects and their larvae inside the tree.
		Woodpeckers in the U.S. range considerably in size from the 16 ½-inch pileated (the crow is 17 ½ inches) to the smallest, the downy at about 6 ¾ inches.
		The hairy’s is considerably longer, approximately as long as its head is wide, while the beak of the downy is quite a bit shorter than the width of its head.

	Marcel Granger — Hairy Woodpecker
		Never present in large numbers, hairy woodpeckers live surrounded by trees in both coniferous and deciduous forests, urban parks and open areas with trees.
		The hairy woodpecker feeds mostly on insect larvae that burrow into trees, catching its prey by pecking into the bark with its strong chisel-like bill.
		Woodpeckers can apparently detect prey under the bark or in the wood itself by listening for sounds or by sensing vibrations.
