"FEMALE HAIRY WOODPECKER". Picoides Villosus. Family: PICIDAE.

The adult male has a red spot at the rear of its head.

It is very difficult to register these creatures; they move fast, so very fast.

They are permenant residents of an area. They nest in cavities, clutch size being 3/6 eggs, 11 to 15 days incubation. Breed once a year. 7 to 10 inches in size.

Its other names: PIC CHEVELU in French; and in Spanish: Carpintero-velloso mayor.

I could have given this image a tight crop to amplify its features; however, I wish to portray its breeding habitat: HEAVY AND DENSE WOODLAND.

Hi, dear Mario.
What a nice wood/grove you have pictured. View is very unusual and impressive. I like excellent DOF of the shot and details of all trees. Image of nice woodpecker is looked very well into these beautiful surroundings. Picture is coloured and exposed very well too. My best wishes and TFS.

Hi Mario,
Not the usual bird capture, but a very nice one to see the wonderful place where the bird lives. I like colours and environment a lot.

Hey we have those same ones down here but we're not too far away really. They knock on the aluminum siding and drive everyones bonkers eh? Not too smart I reckon...and not as damaging as beavers...Last summer I passed a tree a day downed by a pack of gophers.

Nice setting the woods like that. Makes it REAL!....'course it is real...but I digress...

Very informative photo! I always wonder why they do not get a headache!
