Andean flicker

[edit]
  • ... that the Andean flicker is unusual among woodpeckers in foraging on the ground and in often nesting colonially? Source: "Highly terrestrial, foraging in groups on bare ground." "Rather than nesting in a cavity, the Andean Flicker makes burrows in banks or cliffs in soft soil areas. Andean Flickers are not only unusual in this manner, but also in that they often nest in colonies rather than solitarily"
    • ALT1:... that the Andean flicker is unusual among woodpeckers in foraging on the ground and nesting in holes that it digs in earth banks?
