Pictures of Woodpeckers

Here is a gallery containing twelve different Pictures of Woodpeckers drawn by John Gould in the 1800’s. You’ll find images of the Yellow-Naped Woodpecker, the Chinese Spotted Woodpecker, and more. Woodpeckers are specialized birds famous for drumming on trees to find insects and create nesting cavities. Their anatomy is built for high-impact work, featuring shock-absorbing skulls and zygodactyl feet that provide a stable grip on vertical bark. To reach hidden prey, they use exceptionally long, sticky tongues that can extend deep into wood crevices. If you’re enjoying these Pictures of Woodpeckers, I’m sure you’ll want to visit the pages with more Varieties of Woodpeckers or maybe some Pictures of Geese. Have fun!
