Bird Carving # 13 : Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker (Kogera)







This is my thirteen birdcaring work of Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker.

Weighing a mere 18-26 grams, and measuring just 15 cm in length,
the Japanese pygmy woodpecker is the smallest member of the
family in Japan. Though territorial and often solitary during spring
to autumn, it commonly joins mixed-species flocks in winter,
when its distinctive, rather gently buzzing "kzzzz-kzzzz" calls are
a welcome addition to the harsher sounds of the more demonstrative
great tit, varied tit and nuthatch that commonly comprise such flocks.
