Black Woodpecker

Added one new picture with the work of a black woodpecker!

Det kan hende vi har en bok som er lik som din her.
Jeg finner den bare på dansk og i danske butikker ;)

Jeg er ihvertfald rigtig glad for den :)

Jeg ved ikke om den er udgivet i Norge, da det er en dansk forfatter...

Det virker som en veldig bra bok, jeg har ikke sett den boka her men kan nok hende jeg finner den etterhvert ;)

I Nordens Fugle er der ved hver fugl en generel beskrivelse + hvor ses arten + hvordan ses arten oftest + trækforhold + udbredelse + yngleforhold + føde og der er både fotos + tegninger af hver fugl med kommentarer til kendetegn og køn mm.
Jeg har mange fuglebøger, men denne bruger jeg mest :)

Jeg har en bok med Fugler i Norge. Men i den står det ikke hvor mange par som hekker og sånt... Står mest om størrelse på fugler og hvor i Norge de lever :)

Jeg skrev forkert...
Det er ISBN 87-02-02989-8

Takk for tipset =)
Skal se om jeg finner den

Nordens Fugle, det er en rigtig god bog på visse områder :)
Udgivet af Gyldendal, forfatter Benny Génsbøl..

Thanks Mary =)
That's the great thing with Project Noah, always learn something new =)

I did notice that, I heard that drum, drum and did look for it... That's the first time I have heard this on... I'm used to hear the great spotted woodpecker and that a completely other drumming :)

Jeannette where do you read all this, just wondering?

The Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker doesn't have any red markings not even the male, it has yellow "hair" instead :)

Wonderful photos and once again I learned something new. I didn't know there was a such thing as black woodpeckers. Thanks for sharing

The female only drum about a second and then stop :)

The woodpecker drumming are a great sound =)

They could be the same family.
It's great how they have the red markings, all woodpecker seems to have that

That's tru Jeanette we have the green woodpecker around here, but i have never seen it before. One day I hope to get a spotting of that too....

Are that true! i didn't know that... I did hear this female from a great distance

Northern flicker have totally different colors. They belong to the same family if I am not mistaken.
So red does seem to be a trade mark kind of ,in wood peckers! Funny how nature has it's own coding .

i never feel that bird sounds are annoying. it has a sedative effect on me.

This is all black with red top, the male have more red top and the female.
And the beak are yellow white isch.

I read that the Northern Flicker are a bit smaller then the black woodpecker

Thanks Emma ;)

You also get green woodpeckers...

The male black woodpecker's drumming can be heard from a distance of 2 kilometers, it drums up to 3-4 sec. with 17 hits/sec, :)

Silhouette is the same.
Most woodpeckers are a combination of black red and white.
Beaks are never yellow.
great pic!

The black woodpecker are the biggest of woodpeckers in Europe, it's 50-55 cm long and a wingspan of 64-68 cm and just 300g...
I think this woodpecker just lives in europe and asia!

Yeah, they got very similar tails ;)

I noticed in pic number 3 that it's tail is very much like that of a Northern Flicker .

Usually we see other birds that are black, a black wood pecker though is something new!

Det er en stor fin fugl.... Er det ikke flere i Danmark nei, og ja den er ganske sjelden å se her...
Så den i dag for første gang på mange år =)
