Pileated Woodpecker Bird Call

$1.29

Find out more Hide details

One of North America's largest woodpeckers, the size of these birds and their striking appearance with flaming red crested head, sets them apart from any other woodpecker in their territory. Their excavating work in dead trees which they need to find food, provides nest holes for other birds. If you have property with dead trees or logs on it, consider keeping them in place if they are not potentially dangerous, as Pileated Woodpeckers rely on dead and rotting wood to find food. Carpenter ants are their main food source, and you can tell if Pileated Woodpeckers are in your area both by their loud calls and by the square shape of the holes in the dead wood. Our Pileated ringtone would be especially effective as an alarm or alert.

All chickadees seem to share the same curiosity and enthusiasm, and Carolina Chickadees are no exception. These active little birds are also loyal to their mates, with many of them remaining in pairs for years. We can thank them for doing a superb job of insect control as they are eager gleaners of spiders and other insects. If you have a native plant garden or meadow, these birds will be regular visitors. They also will visit feeders and are especially fond of sunflower seeds and cracked corn.In winter, you can find Carolina Chickadees in flocks. Within these flocks, the birds live under a ranking system with the highest ranking members able to nest within the flock's range. Mated pairs look for a cavity or appropriate nest box where the female builds the nest and sleeps in the box or cavity during the season, while the male sleeps on a sheltered branch nearby. These are interesting little birds to watch. Their pretty little call is a good way to know that you are in the presence of a Carolina Chickadee.

Common Redpoll Bird Call iPhone Ringtone

$1.29

Nearly every other winter, the Common Redpoll is a welcome winter visitor to backyard feeders. Shortages of seed crops in the northern forest cause massive flocks of redpolls to move south, invading bird feeders across the Northeast. The redpoll is a small-headed brown and white bird, with streaky sides, a red forehead, and black around a yellow bill. It’s easy to mistake a Redpoll for a similar-looking House Finch, but no other finch has black around the bill on the face. Often seen in groups, Redpolls can sometimes “take over” your bird feeders with flocks numbering more than a hundred individuals! You can attract Redpolls to your yard by offering fresh niger (thistle) seed in multiple finch feeders during the winter months.

This social woodpecker with a red head and white face is found in the northwest and southwest US and into Mexico.
