Summary edit

Gold-winged Woodpecker on Chesnut Oak, 1731
Title
Gold-winged Woodpecker on Chesnut Oak, 1731
Description

Illustration showing a Gold-winged wood-pecker (Picus major alis aureis) perched on a branch of Chesnut oak (Quercus castaneae foliis). This bird is distinguished by the beams of all the wing feathers which are of a bright gold colour. On the hind part of the head is a large scarlet spot. It differs from other wood-peckers in the hookedness of its bill and manner of feeding, which is usually on the ground, out of which it draws worms and other insects. Neither do they alight on the trunks of trees in an erect posture as wood-peckers usually do.
