Black WoodpeckerThe Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) is a large woodpecker. Description The plumage of this crow-sized woodpecker is entirely black apart from the red crest. The large size, black plumage and large floppy wings can give an immediate impression of a crow but the pointed tail and, particularly, the pointed head held high as it flies should tell you that this is a woodpecker. Its flight is straight, not dipping like other woodpeckers. More

Among the huge woodpeckers nine species of extant Campephilus in the New World, and four (or more? the genus needs revisions) species of flameback (Dinopium) in southeast Asia.

seen! There was, of course, only the Black Woodpecker, which isn't supposed to have reached Britain yet. It was another year at least before I realised that. What else could these birds have been?

Blackbirds don't perch vertically on the side of a trunk. More

The Black woodpecker which I have frequently mentioned and which is found in most parts of the roky Mountains as well as the Western and S. W. Mountains, I had never an opportunity of examining untill a few days since when we killed and preserved several of them. This bird is about the size of the lark woodpecker or the turtle dove, tho' it's wings are longer than either of those birds. More
