Canto e richiami di Black Woodpecker

Canto e richiami sono spesso il modo più semplice per identificare Black Woodpecker, soprattutto quando l'uccello è nascosto tra fitto fogliame. Ecco cosa ascoltare.

Canto

The 'song' is a loud, far-carrying, and distinctive drumming, a rapid series of powerful blows on a resonant tree trunk. It typically lasts 2-3 seconds and is used for territorial display and attracting a mate. The drumming is slower and more powerful than that of smaller woodpeckers.

Richiami

Common calls include a loud, ringing 'klee-eh' or 'kru-kru-kru' series, often given in flight or when agitated. Also a sharp 'kwick' or 'kyaak' call. Alarm calls are harsher and more rapid.

Quando vocalizzano

Most vocal during the breeding season (late winter to early summer), with drumming and calls used for territorial defense and communication. Calls can be heard year-round.
