Woodpecker Evicts Nest-Stealing Starling with Beak Power

A red-headed woodpecker was captured on video evicting a starling from its nest by yanking it out of a tree trunk, showcasing the ongoing battle between the two species. Starlings, an invasive species in North America, often invade other birds' nests, posing a threat to native bird populations. The decline in suitable nesting trees due to land development is a primary driver of the red-headed woodpecker's 54% population decline between 1966 and 2019, highlighting the importance of wildlife conservation efforts to protect their habitats.
