Topic: Laced Woodpecker


  
  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.

Laced Woodpecker seldom if ever occurs in open dry dipterocarp, favouring more dry evergreen, mixed deciduous and bamboo clumps.
Sadly, there were no Great Slaty Woodpecker, and, in surveys elsewhere in the “upper eastern forest complex”, I was generally disappointed by how scarce this largest of the world’s woodpecker was anywhere.
This lovely little woodpecker, common in all manner of scrubby dry country in the Indian subcontinent, is known by perhaps only one, or at most two records from Thailand.

"Woody Woodpecker is an animated cartoon character who appears in short films produced by the Walter Lantz animation studio and distributed by Universal Studios.
Though not the first of the "screwball" characters that became popular in the 1940s, Woody is perhaps the most indicative of the type.
A noisy woodpecker outside their cabin kept the couple awake at night, and when a heavy rain started, they learned that the bird had bored holes in their cabin's roof.

 Woodpecker: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Woodpecker
The Woodpeckers and wrynecks in the order Piciformes have zygodactyl or “yoked" feet, with two toes pointing forward, and two backward.
The last two families are sometimes separated as the order Gabuliformes.
Two distinctive groups of small woodpeckers, the wrynecks, genus Jynx, and the piculets, genera Picumnus, Sasia and Nesoctites, have their own group articles.

Mangrove Pitta was not vocal or tape responsive, but a bird eventually flew across the bund, whereupon we were able to see a pair through the rather open area beneath the mangroves.
Pink-necked Pigeon and Laced Woodpecker are common, and this is a good spot for Chestnut-bellied Malkoha.
A pair of the woodpeckers is now frequenting the forest just below High Pines, and are most vocal and easiest to see early in the morning when tape might be helpful.

Found another woodpecker the other day, this is the Laced Woodpecker.
The woodpecker is very similar to the UK Green Woodpecker except for the chest - which I suppose is how your's gets its name "laced" all the other markings are very similar though.

Being so early in August I figured it couldn't be, so it would have to be a Slender-billed Oriole even though the field guide states that this species is only resident in the Northern or Northwest parts of the country.
I had never seen one at such close range, and seeing this warmly brown bird was a cheer joy.
While walking along the nature trail that winds its way along the stream towards the viewpoint, a bird flew up from the trail side only to settle in some thickets from where it sounded of its call very similar to Laced Woodpecker or Lesser Yellownape.
