(7,9,10) Few studies detail the function of the hyoid apparatus of raptors, but it has been suggested that falconids have a more-primitive, weaker hyoid apparatus and associated musculature compared with other species, such as hummingbirds (Trochilidae species), woodpeckers (
Picidae species), and egrets (Ardeidae species).
Implications of nest-site size selection on the nest building strategy in woodpeckers (
Picidae: Aves).
The families observed there were belonged to Falconiformes (3 spp.), Piciformes contained 2 species belonging to family
Picidae. Upupidae (2 spp.), Coraciidae (1 sp.), Halcyonidae (1sp.), Alcedinidae (1 sp.), Meropidae (2 spp.), Cuculidae (2 spp.) belonged to order Coraciiformes.
Tree holes excavated by woodpeckers (
Picidae), as well as other cavities provide typical summer shelters utilized by bats in temperate-zone forests.

Despite the low density of Black-backed Woodpeckers, density of all woodpecker species combined at these sites is quite high in severely burned patches, with 6 or more species of
Picidae nesting in most burned patches of approximately 4.8 ha (Lorenz and others 2015a).

Entre las aves residentes, las familias Ardeidae, Tyrannidae, Icteridae, Emberizidae y Rallidae tuvieron el mayor numero de representantes, mientras que las familias Cathartidae, Falconidae, Furnariidae, Jacanidae, Mimidae,
Picidae, Podicipedidae, Psittacidae, Threskiornithidae y Tytonidae registraron solo un representante.
Dryocopus lineatus (familia
Picidae), habita hasta los 2100 msnm, desde Mexico hasta Argentina y Paraguay (Hilty y Brown, 1986); suele permanecer solo o en parejas, en troncos y ramas, y abre hoyos en superficies de la corteza viva y de la madera muerta.
volans nest in large, dying and dead trees with natural cavities or cavities made by woodpeckers (
Picidae); however, external leaf-nests built on branches, called dreys, also have been reported (e.g., Dolan and Carter, 1977; Wells-Gossling, 1985; Bendel and Gates, 1987; Taulman, 1999; Holloway and Malcolm, 2007), especially in areas with low availability of snags and cavities (Carey et al., 1997), and at lower latitudes (Weigl, 1978; Holloway and Malcolm, 2007).
