Habitats and feeders for threatened and endangered Species
Mention the name “Woodpecker” and probably the closest association is “red-headed” Maybe that’s due to the
popularization of the species by a certain cartoon character named “Woody” who has a red head! But the
redheaded Woodpecker is an uncommon sight today over much of its range.
The Red-Headed Woodpecker is the size of a jay and has a striking appearance. With an entirely red head, black
wings and tail, white underside, and with a striking white patch on each wing and on the rump, it’s easy to identify.
This beautiful bird ranges throughout the eastern half of the US and winters in South America.
The Red-bellied Woodpecker may seem to have been misnamed. It has a bright red marking on its head, but it is
more like the Northern Flicker in appearance that the Red-headed Woodpecker. The red on it’s a stripe from the
beak to the base of the neck, not a completely red head. However, it does have a small red patch on its belly,
though this is seldom noticed, and then only if the bird is in the right position for the viewer.
Red-bellied Woodpecker is robin-sized and belongs to the “ladder-back” woodpecker group, named for the black
and white markings on their backs. They have been primarily southern birds until recently when their range has
expanded to include southern New England states and Southern Ontario. They are only found east of the Rockies.
The Hairy Woodpecker looks much like the Downey Woodpecker, being primarily black with white spotted wings,
white bellies and a white stripe down the back, and a red patch on the back of the males head. But it is slightly
larger and has a longer bill. Its range covers nearly the entire US.
The Red-Head lives in open country with groves of dead and dying trees. It eats insects, seeds, berries, fruits, and
even mice as well as nuts and acorns, often hiding these in holes in the bark of trees. But its numbers are
threatened today by the aggressive behavior of starlings and by the disappearance of dead trees, as well as by the
automobile which hits a fairly large number of these as they dart after flying insects.
Red-Bellied Woodpeckers live is bottomland woods, preferring woods along rivers and streams, as well as very old
oak and pine woods. Wherever there are large old trees. The Red-bellied Woodpecker is a beneficial bird who
consumes large numbers of grasshoppers, ants and wood-boring insects and other insect pests. It often stores
large quantities of food, to which it may never return.
Their cousin the Hairy Woodpecker lives more in deciduous forests from coast to coast. Its consumption of wood
boring beetles has saved many a tree in the forest and orchard. Its diet is primarily insects, but in winter it will eat
nuts and acorns.
All three varieties will come to your backyard feeder in the winter for suet, sunflower seeds, cracked corn, fruit,
peanuts, peanut butter, and breads such as cornbread. (A woodpecker favorite)
Woodpeckers excavate their own cavities, and some will use a nest box while others will not. These three
woodpeckers use man-made habitats more often than most. You may find the Red-Headed Woodpecker enlarging
the hole in your bird house, just because he has a need to excavate. His pecking is also a way of defining his
territory and advertising for a mate.
Woodpeckers peck on wood to search for food or to excavate a nest hole. They chip away wood with this quiet
sound. But they also have a louder drumming sound which they make on wood when they want to signal their
territory to other birds. In this case, they are chipping away any wood, just making noise. So Drumming on your
house will not hurt it. But pecking on your house may indicate that there are insects in the wood.
Woodpeckers do not bring in nesting material, since they generally excavate holes in rotten wood, where the soft
wood makes good nesting material naturally. So placing wood chips (1” to 2” deep) in the nest box may help to
attract them. Some experts advise filling the whole nest box with wood chips for them to excavate. Wood chips are
superior to sawdust, as sawdust can absorb moisture and can also get in the birds’ eyes. Your Coveside house
comes with a bag of wood chips inside for this purpose.
Woodpeckers are reported to use nesting boxes as winter roosting places in cooler weather, even if they do not
nest in them, so it is good to put up a nest box even in the fall.
One of the best things you can do for the woodpecker as well as many other species of bird is to avoid cutting down
old, dead trees, or even dead branches off trees. There dead trees provide woodpeckers with insects and nesting
places. Woodpeckers do not excavate live wood, and all other cavity nesting birds depend on woodpeckers to make
nests holes for them, using these after the woodpeckers have moved on to a new site. So you will be providing
living quarters for many little creatures by leaving that eyesore in your yard.
MOUNTING YOUR WOODPECKER HOUSE
On the back of the house is a metal hanger at the top and a predrilled hole at the bottom. Put a nail or screw into
the side of a tree or post, with the head sticking out about ¼”. Place the metal hanger over the nail or screw. Put
another nail or screw through the hole in the bottom of the back piece and into the tree or post, to fasten the house
securely. Empty the bag of wood chips into the house.
The Woodpecker house should be located between 6’ and 20’ above the ground, preferably in the woods or at the
edge of the woods. In an area where starlings are plentiful, you may want to set up several houses so they can have
their own and leave the woodpeckers alone.
The Woodpecker house is manufactured by Coveside Conservation Products and is constructed of select, kiln dried
Maine White Pine. It is rough-sawn to give the fledglings a foot hold when they are ready to climb out of the nest.
And it will weather to a natural grey, blending in with his outdoor surroundings.
The Wood is one inch think for insulation, both from the heat of summer and from the cold of winter. It is bright
colored to keep the heat of summer out. Many fledglings die when nest get too hot! Ventilation is provided at the top
of the sides as well as the four corners of the floor. The bottom opening also permits drainage. No paint or stain is
used, as these would b toxic to the birds.
The top is slanted for water drainage, and it overhangs the entrance hole. The floor is recessed to keep it dry, as
well. The home is deep to prevent predator from reaching the nest. A predator guard is optional.
The side tilts out for easy cleaning of the house after the birds are gone. A latch sat the bottom holds the side
closed when in use.
Coveside Conservation Products makes habitats for every cavity nesting species of bird, and other wildlife feeders.
