Description
There are 22 species of woodpeckers in North America. They range in size and color. The most common species of woodpecker in the United States is the Downey Woodpecker; other common species include the hairy woodpecker, pileated woodpecker, and the northern flicker.
Life Span:
An average of between 4-11 years
Distribution
The Downey Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, and Northern Flicker can be found across the U.S. In the east, Pileated woodpeckers are very common.
Habitat
Woodpeckers inhabit wooded areas and forests
Diet
Woodpeckers live on a diet of insects, fruit, acorns, and nuts
Behavior
Woodpeckers tap or peck on tree trunks for a few different reasons; to find insects, to excavate nesting cavities’, and to communicate with other woodpeckers when establishing territory, or trying to attract a mate.
Reproduction
Woodpeckers breed in colonies or in separate pairs during April and May. They normally rear one brood a year in holes in trees or walls, and under roof tiles, but a few have a second brood. The male makes a nest of grass and straw, which the female lines with feathers.
The clutch of four to seven blue eggs hatch after 12-13 days, and the chicks fledge after three weeks. After leaving the nest, the chicks continue to follow their parents about, begging for food.
Conservation status
Woodpeckers are protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act
