Himalayas-902 : Speckled Piculet male engaged in drumming (Picumnus innominatus)

It is hard to believe
that, such a tiny
bird ... barely 4 inches
in size ... packs such
a punch ...

Watch a male engaged
in the action of
drumming ... at the
beginning of the
nesting season ...

... an activity carried
out to announce
territory ... and attract
a mate ...
