Avian and Attributes – KIND

Kaempfer’s Woodpecker
The Kaempfer’s Woodpecker (Celeus obrieni), also known as Piauí woodpecker, is a species of woodpecker from Brazil.
It has a total length of about 24 centimeters (9½ in). The head and remiges are mainly rufous-chestnut, the underparts and back are buff, the wing-coverts are barred in black and buff and the chest and tail are uniform black. The male has a red malar and mottling on its crest. For comparison, the rufous-headed woodpecker is larger and has extensive black barring on the back and underparts.
Little is known about its habitat preference, but it appears to be associated with bamboo (specifically Guadua paniculata) growing in Cerrado and babassu palm forest; very unlike the humid forest and woodland where the related rufous-headed woodpecker is found. There is no evidence to suggest that it occurs in Caatinga. Rather, the authors who proposed the common name Caatinga woodpecker and association it with the caatinga habitat mistook a place in the caatinga called Uruçuí-Una for the type locality Uruçuí, some 180 km. NNW in cerrado habitat. (Wikipedia) (Picidae – Woodpecker Family)

Bless his heart. He’s sort of ugly, isn’t he? But He’s God’s creature, so we love him.
I finally got over here after clicking two or three times. I’m so fed up with WP. Most of the time when I click on someone’s post in the Reader now, it takes me to a plain white page with their post on it — but not to their actual blog. I sent an e-mail complaining about it to them. We all spend so much time and effort making our blogs look the way we want and set them up to do certain things and attract attention to certain things, and now almost no one even comes to them. What’s the point? At least that’s the question I asked them. But I certainly don’t appreciate their sending people to some white page instead of my actual site. I haven’t heard back from them yet though.

Very interesting birds, your woodpeckers we don’t have birds like that, as most of our timbers are hard woods and possibly too hard for a pecker to peck, this maybe part of Inelligent Design.
