Dendrocolaptidae

/ˌdɛndroʊkɒlæpˈtiːdiː/ noun

Definition

A family of New World climbing birds, commonly known as woodcreepers, that creep up tree trunks searching for insects.

Etymology

From Greek dendro- (tree) + kolapts (to peck or chisel) + -idae (biological family suffix). The family name describes these birds' specialized behavior of pecking along tree bark while climbing.

Kelly Says

Woodcreepers are the acrobats of the forest—they can walk up vertical tree trunks in any direction and even upside down, using their stiff tail feathers as a brace, much like how a woodpecker braces itself while drilling, but these birds never stop moving!
