Dryobates scalaris, Picoides scalaris, and Ladder-backed Woodpecker are small woodpeckers。
The striated woodpecker is similar in appearance to the California woodpecker, but the head and upper back feathers are less black, and their range overlaps only slightly in southern California and northern Baja California. Hybrids of the two also exist。
Like most woodpeckers, they use their chisel-like beaks to burrow into tree trunks in search of insects and their larvae, but they also eat cactus fruit.
Females lay two to seven eggs at a time, which are pure white. The eggs are incubated by both parents, but the time required for nesting and other information is unknown。
Listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ver 3.1:2009 Bird Red List.
Protect wild animals and eliminate wild meat.
It is everyone's responsibility to maintain ecological balance
