Dendrocopos obsoletus

The Brown-backed Woodpecker is known as Dendrocopos obsoletus and brown-backed woodpecker.

SAP from certain trees during a certain season. In spring, the male woodpeckers that occupy their territories call loudly, often pecking at hollow tree trunks and occasionally tapping metal to increase the sound, but woodpeckers are usually silent in other seasons. Woodpeckers are mostly non-social and often live alone or in pairs.

Listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ver 3.1:2009 Bird Red List.

Protect wild animals and eliminate wild meat.

Maintaining ecological balance is everyone's responsibility!
