Feeding Habits
Guayaquil Woodpecker primarily forages on dead canopy branches, detected by loud hammering. It likely consumes similar foods to C. melanoleucos, including insects under bark, and is often seen in pairs while feeding.
Habitat
The guayaquil Woodpecker predominantly resides in humid to dry deciduous forests, areas along forest edges, and tall secondary growth regions within broader tropical environments. This species is adapted to life primarily in locations west of the Andes where such habitats flourish. It is notably distinct ecologically from similar species by its preference for the upper strata of the forest canopy.
