  Woodpeckers
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 woodpecker is a native of the grasslands of Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina.

 sociology - Woodpecker
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.

 birding facts Birding Resources by the Fat Birder
The majority of woodpeckers are specialists in climbing tree trunks and in excavating their own nest-holes in trunks and branches.
Yet, all things considered, it is probably the ability of woodpeckers to bore their own nest-holes in trees (and other plants) and their drumming (though not all woodpeckers drum) that really sets then apart.
Woodpeckers can be regarded as successful birds with the over 200 species being fairly well distributed around the globe though, perhaps not surprisingly, they do not inhabit the treeless regions of the Arctic and Antarctic.

A Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker was seen on a tree-trunk, a small warbler in low scrub appeared to be the newly split Whistler's Warbler (or at least part of the Golden-spectacled Warbler complex) and then another skulking calling bird popped out briefly and was instantly recognisable as the stunning White-rumped Shama (our only one of the trip).
Great Tits and Streaked Laughingthrushes were seen in the undergrowth, but there was no sign of any tesias or forktails, despite prolonged searching and chasing around various unidentified small birds.

While the reserve had water (unlike the previous year!), it was much reduced compared to the ‘usual' levels, and the desiccated areas even held the dry country specialist, Yellow-wattled Lapwing.
It's always a pleasure to work with the staff at the reserve and this year was no exception, and our capable young guide Ansar (son of Bolu Khan) showed us two Large-tailed Nightjars and a Brown Boobook roosting in a small nursery.
