When he is seen scrambling over fruit trees and his hole is found in the bark it is concluded that he is doing harm. The woodpecker obtains a large part of his food from the trees. Most birds must get their insect food from the air or the surface of the bark, but the woodpecker is able to get many larva and grubs beneath the bark. He is able to locate his hidden prey with great accuracy and often cuts small holes directly to the burrows of the grubs. He rarely disfigures a tree that is healthy, but when he finds a tree infested with wood-boring larvae, he locates the insects accurately, draws them out and devours them. Among the smaller woodpeckers are the hairy and downy. Both of these are birds from which the prchardist and forester have nothing to fear and much to gain. The number of useful insects which they eat is insignificant, while the number of destructive larva they destroy must have a very great effect in red
