Yellow-throated Woodpecker

Veniliornis frontalis

The Yellow-throated Woodpecker is a striking bird with a black and white barred back, a bright yellow throat, and a red crown. This woodpecker is known for its distinctive drumming sound as it pecks on trees in search of insects. It is often found in mature forests with large trees, where it forages for insects and larvae. The Yellow-throated Woodpecker also excavates nest cavities in dead trees or branches. Its populations are generally stable, but it may face threats from habitat loss and deforestation in some regions.
