Crimson-crested Woodpecker
From Panama to northern
Argentina and on Trinidad.
Campephilus melanoleucos
(L 13-15" Wt 6.4-10 oz)
Campephilus means love of
the fields; melanoleucos
means black and white.
Tap Tap Tap Tap,
tap, tap goes the woodpecker
As he pecks a hole in a tree.
He is making a house with a window
To peep at you and me.
