Скачать или смотреть Male COMMON FLAMEBACK WOODPECKER has Fledged!

Unlike his hesitant sister, this male Woodpecker chick was a lot more decisive in his fledging. About half an hour after his sister's half-hearted fledging, this little male shot out of the nest like a bullet, never once turning back.
Although the Woodpecker parents kept calling in the vicinity, the female chick didn't attempt to leave again. The parents resumed feeding the lone chicks thereafter. For the next hour, the little one seemed contented to rest alone in the nest hole.
Early next morning, the nest was empty, confirming that this female chick had probably flown off late evening that same day.
The male Common Flameback Woodpecker has a distinct bright red crested crown, while the female has a white streaked blackish crown.
Common Flameback Woodpeckers are common residents of Singapore.
