enjoyed watching a Downy Woodpecker excavating a tree cavity over the weekend. note the bits of dust and debris it’s just tossed out with its beak.

They grow to 100-130ft tall, are an exclusive host to the near threatened Araucaria Tit-Spinetail (Leptasthenura setaria), and act as a facilitator species for diverse understory ecological communities when allowed to reach full height.

They’ve lost ~97% of their habitat to sprawl and agricultural.

Wow, there are lots of people here all of sudden.

I don’t often know really what to do with my social media accounts—but I enjoy following discourse and sharing work occasionally.

Here are some pictures of a small Araucaria augustifolia tree. Critically endangered, native to SE Brazil.
