The woodpeckers are beautiful, noisy and dominate the different layers of the forests from forest floor to the canopy level. Their presence is very critical to the forest ecosystem and are often referred to as the ecosystem engineers. They help in keeping control the stemborer infestations and also studies have shown that the abandoned nest cavities of woodpeckers are often used by other bird species who are not primary nest excavators.
Will upload the data with all the species of woodpeckers soon, happy birding with data.
