Woodpeckers and allies

in birds •  7 years ago 

Woodpeckers are small to medium-sized birds with chisel-like beaks, short legs, stiff tails and long tongues used for capturing insects. Some species have feet with two toes pointing forward and two backward, while several species have only three toes. Many woodpeckers have the habit of tapping noisily on tree trunks with their beaks.

I rarely ever see woodpeckers out of cartoons. Even though I love birds, I still guess I know very little about them. Cool to see pictures like these of them finally!

Nice photos .. @audreylogan
