Kaempfer's Woodpecker

Celeus obrieni

Kaempfer's Woodpecker (Celeus obrieni) is a medium-sized woodpecker found in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. It has a distinctive black and white plumage with a bright red crest on the head. This species is known for its drumming behavior, using its bill to create rhythmic patterns on trees to communicate with other individuals. Kaempfer's Woodpecker is primarily insectivorous, foraging for insects and larvae in the bark of trees. It nests in tree cavities and is often found in mature, undisturbed forests. However, habitat loss and deforestation are threatening its population in some areas.
