Woodepeckers are not local to our country which is why I find this post very interesting (in fact, the only woodpecker very familiar to me goes by the name of Woody) :D
Kidding aside, the photo of the dead tree, did it die due to the continous pecking of woodpeckers? Or do these birds pick out an already dead tree to store their loot (nuts)?
Anyway, thanks for sharing a very informative post.
