Hola aves y pajaros que son los protaginistas en esta comunidad, que gracias a los fotografos que aqui estamos seamos o no profesionales, damos a conocer pajaros que quizas no conocemos ya que las aves o pajaros es muy extensa.

El invitado que traigo para compartir, es pequeño, que como todos quizas es una especie diferente, que no se parece en nada al que yo veia de pequeña en caricaturas como era El Pajaro Loco, que era el mismo carpintero, pero asi se llamaba en una comiquita de television.

Si este es un pajaro carpintero que casi pasa desapercibido, porque su plumaje se parece mucho al arbol donde estaba, que lo que me llamo la atencion fue el constante martilleo que hace con su pico en el tronco de ese arbol, que me parece ser uno de Chaparro.

Para saber mas sobre este pajaro busque ayuda en la internet donde esta registrado todo, es un un carpintero habado (Melanerpes rubricapillus), tamaño mediano entre 16 y 18,5 cm, muy común en Venezuela, tiene franjas transversales blancas y negras, vientre grisáceo, en su nuca o en la cabeza la mancha de color rojo o naranja, determina su sexo, que si es corto son hembras, si es mas largo es el macho.

En los troncos de los arboles hacen sus nidos de ahi el constante martilleo quedan circulares, esos picos de ellos debe ser muy bueno, para hacer eso.

No aplique mucho Zoom para la foto porque luego la distorsiona, ya tomada solo edite de cortar los lados como para verlo mas de cerca.

Tomadas con mi celular Samsung Galaxy A16.

Hello, birds—you’re the stars of this community! Thanks to all the photographers here—whether we’re professionals or not—we’re able to showcase birds we might not otherwise know, since the world of birds is so vast.

The guest I’m here to share with you is small—and, like all birds, perhaps a different species—that bears no resemblance to the one I used to see as a child in cartoons like El Pajaro Loco, which was actually a woodpecker, but that’s what it was called in that TV cartoon.

This is a woodpecker that almost went unnoticed because its plumage closely resembles the tree it was perched on. What caught my attention was the constant pounding it made with its beak on the trunk of that tree, which I believe to be a Chaparro tree.

To learn more about this bird, I looked it up online, where everything is documented. It is a striped woodpecker (Melanerpes rubricapillus), medium-sized, between 16 and 18.5 cm, very common in Venezuela. It has black-and-white crosswise stripes and a grayish belly. The red or orange patch on the nape or head determines its sex: if the patch is short, it’s a female; if it’s longer, it’s a male.

They build their nests in tree trunks—that’s where the constant pecking comes from—and the holes they make are circular. Their beaks must be really good for doing that.

I didn’t zoom in too much for the photo because it distorts the image; after taking it, I just cropped the sides to get a closer look.

Taken with my Samsung Galaxy A16 cell phone.

    Well spotted, it is really well camouflaged. The woodpeckers are amazing, I love to watch them drilling the holes. 17559304511477972137756406642354.gif
