A fulvous-breasted woodpecker (Dendrocopos macei) is perching and vigorously drilling through its beak into a tall East American mahogany (Khaya anthotheca) tree, eating insects. In contrast, other insects fly away in fear at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 15, 2024. The fulvous-breasted woodpecker, a medium-sized species (17 to 20 cm) in the Picidae family, is found in forests at altitudes ranging from 0 to 2800 meters in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Myanmar. These woodpeckers are non-migratory resident birds, with populations living at higher altitudes descending to lower levels during winter. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
