Fernandina's Flicker

Teretistris fornsi

Fernandina's Flicker is a small woodpecker species found in the pine forests of Cuba. It has distinctive black and white plumage with a red nape and a black crescent on the breast. This species is known for its rhythmic drumming on tree trunks to communicate and attract mates. Fernandina's Flicker primarily feeds on insects and larvae found in the bark of pine trees. Due to habitat loss and limited range, the population of Fernandina's Flicker is declining, and conservation efforts are crucial for its survival.
