August 2024 - Week 5 Roundup


 

Streak throated woodpecker

Sighted on: 29.Aug.2024



During the vehicle safari this evening, we encountered this magnificent Streak throated woodpecker. Woodpeckers are a diverse group with over 200 species globally, varying in size, color, and behavior. Their strong, chisel-like beaks allow them to drill into trees for insects and sap. Remarkably, their skulls are specially adapted with spongy tissue that absorbs shock, protecting their brains from the impact of repeated pecking.
