5. Petrified Creatures
Q. How long can a woodpecker peck?
— D. O’M., Rensselaerville
A. A woodpecker is an animated chisel. It digs into wood by knocking out small chips with its bill. It grasps the tree with its claws, props itself with its stiff tail, then bends back the upper part of his body to put force behind each swing. It can beat its head against wood 20 times a second, in uninterrupted bursts of almost an hour, and dig holes more than a foot deep into the heartwood of a living tree. In the process, it sets up vibrations in its skull that would probably kill any other bird.
