	Woodpecker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Some distinctive groups of woodpeckers, including the sapsuckers (genus Sphyrapicus) and the small wrynecks (genus Jynx) and piculets (genera Picumnus, Sasia and Nesoctites) have their own group articles.
		Woodpeckers were named among the most intelligent birds based on this scale.

	Woodpecker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Woodpeckers are near passerine birds of the order Piciformes.
		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 grubss under the bark of the tree.

	Science Fair Projects - Magellanic subpolar forests
		The Magellanic subpolar forests are a terrestrial ecoregion of southernmost South America, covering parts of southern Chile and Argentina, and is part of the Neotropic ecozone.
		The Magellanic subpolar forests ecoregion lies to the west of the Andes Mountains, which run north-south for most of their length but curve eastward near the southern tip of South America, terminating as the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego.
		Like the Valdivian ecoregion, the Magellanic subpolar forests are a refuge for the Antarctic flora, and share many plant families with the temperate forest ecoregions of New Zealand, Tasmania, and Australia, especially the southern beech, (Nothofagus).

		Magellanic Woodpecker frugivory and predation on a lizard.
		I report observations of fruit consumption by Magellanic Woodpeckers (Campephilus magellanicus) and an opportunistic predation on a lizard (Liolaemus sp.) by an adult male.
		During normal feeding activities, the woodpecker snatched from a bark crevice of a lenga (Nothofagus pumilio) tree a lizard, which he then beat until stunned or dead, before flying off carrying the reptile.

	Campephilus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Campephilus is a genus of woodpeckers in the family Picidae.
		This genus was erected by Gray, who suggested to take Campephilus principalis as the prototype for the genus.
		The common names ivory-billed woodpecker or ivorybill are sometimes used to refer to members of this genus, though more commonly it is used specifically for Campephilus principalis.

	THE HABITS AND RELATIONSHIPS OF THE MAGELLANIC WOODPECKER
		Magellanic Woodpeckers foraging on larger limbs and trunks move easily upward with the tail appressed to the surface of the tree and the legs spread outward.
		The vocalization uttered most often by the Magellanic Woodpeckers we observed is a variable, double-noted, harsh call, similar to that of Phlo.eoceastes rubricollis described by Snyder (1966:161) as an "explosive, nasal 'ngkah- ngkah.'" From two to five of these double-noted calls were given in each sequence.
		The Magellanic Woodpecker has a large white wing patch restricted to the inner web of the secondaries and the basal portion of the inner vane of the primaries; the primaries are never tipped with white.

	HABITAT UTILIZATION OF THE RED-COCKADED WOODPECKER DURING THE WINTER
		DISCUSSION The density of Red-cockaded Woodpeckers at Fluker is consistent with that recorded in the few winter and breeding bird population studies made in the geographical and habitat ranges of this species (Audubon Field Notes, 1946-1970).
		SUMMARY Winter observations of a population of Red-cockaded Woodpeckers (Dendrocopos borealis) in eastern Louisiana indicated that males and females foraged similarly, concentrating their activities upon trunks of longleaf pines (Pinus palustris).
		These Red-cockaded Woodpeckers are segregated spatially from Downy Woodpeckers (D. pubescens), which concentrate their activities on the peripheral parts of pines.

	"Extinct" Woodpecker Still Elusive, But Signs Are Good
		The sound is very different from that of the pileated woodpecker, said Peter McBride, a habitat biologist from Washington with extensive field research in several areas of North America and South America.
		The ivory-billed woodpecker was thought to be extinct in North America until there were credible reports of a 1999 sighting in Louisiana, which prompted a serious search.
		Many experts believe that the American population of the ivory-billed woodpecker has been extinct for at least 50 years, but reported sightings have continued, stirring hope that some may have survived the intense deforestation of the past century.

		There are Ivory-billed Woodpecker mounts and specimens (skins) of both American and Cuban birds in U.S. bird collections in the Smithsonian, and at several universities.
		The internet sites concerning Ivory-billed Woodpeckers (both subspecies) are overwhelmed with the "recent" discovery in Arkansas, and ads for everything, from T-shirts to government news releases, and funding appeals by the environmental and non-profit land-buying organizations.
		The likelihood of this lone bird being a sole descendant from others that remained hidden in the American South for 60 years, while other woodpeckers, like the Endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker, were studied intensively, and the woodlands entertained a wide spectrum of regular visitors and users is remote, to say the least.

		The Great Slaty Woodpecker of Southeast Asia is similar in size to the Ivory-billed and shows many behavioral and ecological similarities that may be a function of the size of the birds.
		In Red-cockaded Woodpecker, largest group sizes are found in the best habitats; as habitat quality de-clines, so do group size and breeding success (Conner et al.
		In general, probably same ones faced by the Pileated Woodpecker (Bull and Jackson 1995): e.g., cavity entrance of an Ivory-billed nest or roost is large enough that an adept raccoon (Procyon lotor) could reach in; rat snakes (Elaphe obsoleta and E.
