Woodpeckers are part of the bird family Picidae, which also includes the piculets, wrynecks and sapsuckers.

- Drumming is a form of nonvocal communication used by most species of woodpeckers, and involves the bill being repeatedly struck on a hard surface with great rapidity.
- Most birds roost alone and will oust intruders from their chosen site, but the Magellanic woodpecker and acorn woodpecker are cooperative roosters.
- the grey-and-buff woodpecker makes several shallow holes for roosting which are quite distinct from its nesting site.
- In many species the roost will become the nest-site during the breeding season, but in some species they have separate functions;
- Woodpeckers are diurnal, roosting at night inside holes and crevices.

- Joining these flocks allows woodpeckers to decrease their anti-predator vigilance and increase their feeding rate.

- In addition to these species, a number of species may join mixed-species foraging flocks with other insectivorous birds, although they tend to stay at the edges of these groups.
- Group-living species tend to be communal group breeders.
- The colored patches may be flouted, and in some instances, these antagonistic behaviors resemble courtship rituals.
- Ritual actions do not usually result in contact, and birds may "freeze" for a while before they resume their dispute.
- Ritual actions do not usually result in contact, and birds may "freeze" for a while before they resume their dispute.
- Aggressive behaviors include bill pointing and jabbing, head shaking, wing flicking, chasing, drumming, and vocalizations.
- Solitary species defend such feeding resources as a termite colony or fruit-laden tree, driving away other conspecifics and returning frequently until the resource is exhausted.
- but their behavior ranges from highly antisocial species that are aggressive towards their own kind, to species that live in groups.
- Most woodpeckers live solitary lives,
- the increase in the amount of deadwood is likely to be the major factor explaining the population increase of these species.
- The finis are taking their talents to South Beach.

- With the exception of the green and middle-spotted woodpeckers,

- During this period, the amount of deadwood in the forest increased and the range of the white-backed woodpecker enlarged as it extended eastwards.

- Populations of all these species increased by varying amounts from 1990 to 2008.
- Thank you, Istanbul. We love you! 👻

- This has shown that deadwood is an important habitat requirement for the black woodpecker, great spotted woodpecker, middle spotted woodpecker, lesser spotted woodpecker,
- The Swiss Ornithological Institute has set up a monitoring program to record breeding populations of woodland birds.
- The ground woodpecker is one such species, inhabiting the rocky and grassy hills of South Africa, and the Andean flicker is another.
- and a very small minority have abandoned trees entirely and nest in holes in the ground.
- Several species are adapted to spending a portion of their time feeding on the ground,
- In general, forest-dwelling species need rotting or dead wood on which to forage.
- Other species are generalists and are able to adapt to forest clearance by exploiting secondary growth, plantations, orchards, and parks.
- Some are specialists and are associated with coniferous or deciduous woodlands, or even, like the acorn woodpecker, with individual tree genera (oaks in this case).
- These habitats are more easily occupied where a small number of trees exist, or in the case of desert species like the Gila woodpecker, tall cacti are available for nesting.
- Even grasslands and deserts have been colonised by various species.
- but occur in almost all suitable habitats, including woodlands, savannahs, scrublands, and bamboo forests.
- They reach their greatest diversity in tropical rainforests,
- Overall, woodpeckers are arboreal birds of wooded habitats.
- which moves to lowlands from hills during winter. The woodpeckers that do migrate, do so during the day.
- Several species are altitudinal migrants, for example the grey-capped pygmy woodpecker,

- or eruptive, to escape harsh weather conditions.
- Most woodpecker movements can be described as dispersive, such as when young birds seek territories after fledging,
- More northerly populations of Lewis's woodpecker, northern flicker, Williamson's sapsucker, red-breasted sapsucker, and red-naped sapsucker all move southwards in the fall in North America.

which breeds in Europe and west Asia and migrates to the Sahel in Africa in the winter.
- Most woodpeckers are sedentary, but a few examples of migratory species are known, such as the rufous-bellied woodpecker, yellow-bellied sapsucker, and Eurasian wryneck,
