But, thats where the quote, " birds of a feather stick together, ends ! .......... The two first woodpeckers mentioned above, the Red Cockaded $ the California Crimson, differ greatly from the third mentioned woodpecker, the Swamp Woodpecker. The first two woodpeckers are distinguishable from the Swamp Woodpecker by the size of their pecking beak, which is smaller less durable, and not suited for pecking on hardwood trees, they also differ in their diet preference, their main diet consists of a larvae found on the Lolly Leaf Pine Tree, and the other various variety of Pine trees. The Swamp Woodpecker primary diet consists of Crawfish Roe, and the native louisiana swamp, Catalapa Worm Larvae. I hope you will find this tidbit of information on these woodpeckers, useful on any of your future articles about woodpeckers. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:21:19 +0100
