Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Listen for Drumming. Their powerful drumming carries a long distance and is often the first indication of their presence. It's slower and more resonant than smaller woodpeckers.
2. Look for Foraging Holes. Scan tree trunks, especially older or dead trees, for large, rectangular excavations. These are unmistakable signs of Black Woodpecker activity.
3. Be Patient and Quiet. Black Woodpeckers can be shy. Move slowly and quietly through suitable habitat, and use binoculars to scan tree trunks and branches.
4. Early Morning/Late Afternoon. They are often most active during these times, especially during the breeding season.

Migrazione

Mostly resident throughout its range, though some northern populations may undertake short-distance altitudinal or irruptive movements in harsh winters or in search of food.
