Feeding Habits
Bay Woodpecker primarily eats termites, ants, wood-boring beetle larvae, other insects, and occasional berries. Preferring to forage near ground level, bay Woodpecker probes into soft wood and crevices, removing epiphytes to uncover prey. It forages alone, maintaining contact with mates through calls, and may sometimes catch prey mid-air.
Habitat
The bay Woodpecker typically resides in dense forest environments, preferring evergreen and mixed deciduous forests, as well as areas with abundant bamboo, often found in heavily wooded ravines. This species is generally associated with substantial tree growth in broad ecological zones ranging from lowland foothills to highland forests across tropical regions.
