The majestic Black Woodpecker male (Dryocopus martius) is a sight to behold in the snowy landscapes of Finland. In February, this magnificent bird can be spotted perched on a tree trunk, its red crown contrasting beautifully against the white backdrop. Sometimes, two males engage in territorial disputes, showcasing their strength and determination. In January, a branch was removed from one of these striking birds' favorite spots. Nevertheless, they continue to thrive and make their presence known throughout the winter months. In December, a male and female were captured at their nesthole in Germany, displaying their strong bond as partners. Hoar frost-covered trees provide an enchanting setting for this species as it perches on tree trunks with utmost grace. Even in May, when spring has arrived in Romania's Danube Delta region, the Black Woodpecker remains dedicated to its nest hole duties. Not only does this woodpecker excel at perching and nesting but it also showcases its agility during flight. With precision and elegance, it soars through the air effortlessly. Occasionally seen with a cue-like object nearby or pecking at tree trunks for food or shelter purposes. Whether observed during September while pecking at a tree trunk or immortalized through lithographs published over a century ago depicting European bird eggs - each moment spent observing the Black Woodpecker is truly captivating.
