Debra Martz<p>I spotted this Ladder-backed Woodpecker up high when I heard it drumming on the tree branch. Woodpeckers peck on objects to create sound patterns as communication, like songbirds use melodies. The tempo, rhythm, duration, and repetition of drumming patterns vary between different woodpecker species.</p><p>©Debra Martz <a href="https://debra-martz.pixels.com/featured/woodpecker-drumming-debra-martz.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">debra-martz.pixels.com/feature</span><span class="invisible">d/woodpecker-drumming-debra-martz.html</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://photog.social/tags/woodpecker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>woodpecker</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/bird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bird</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birds</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/aves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aves</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/avian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>avian</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/BirdLovers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BirdLovers</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/featheredFriends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>featheredFriends</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/ornithology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ornithology</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/PhotographyIsArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhotographyIsArt</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/BuyIntoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuyIntoArt</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/AYearForArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AYearForArt</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/BirdsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BirdsOfMastodon</span></a></p>
