The Woodpecker.
The woodpeckers are the true bird carpenters and do a great amount of good in destroying harmful insects and boring worms.
These birds are found most everywhere in the United States, several species remaining in the northern States throughout the year.
Two of the best known woodpeckers, the hairy woodpecker and the downy woodpecker, range over a greater part of the United States.
One of the larger woodpeckers familiar to us all is the flicker, or golden winged woodpecker.
Most all of the woodpeckers will adopt the artificial house, especially those hollowed out of a split piece of limb.
