With this article we want to continue the series of the articles devoted to animals that can be described in various academic assignments. This time some of you have to write APA dissertation/thesis. I think there is no need to tell about all the requirements for APA dissertation/thesis. It is a bit boring and seems to be not that necessary, since all the rules of writing APA dissertation/thesis can be found in special manuals.
Thus, we would like to pass to the topic of your work straight away. As you can guess from the title of this article, we are going to talk about red-headed woodpecker. Fortunately, this bird is not concerned as extinct species yet, however it has a status of near threatened species.
So, let us think what information about red-headed woodpecker can be included in your APA dissertation/thesis.
These birds can be encountered throughout southern Canada and eastern-central United States. Very often red-headed woodpeckers are confused with red-bellied ones that have only a little of red color on the head and rest of the body in black and white spots.
Red-headed woodpeckers catch their food in the air. Mostly they eat insects; however their diet is also made up of nuts, berries, fruits and sometimes even the eggs of the other birds.
Some time ago there were a lot of red-headed woodpeckers, but since 1966 their populations have declined dramatically. The main reason for that is the human activity like agricultural development, channeling of the rivers, eliminating of the dead trees, where the woodpeckers make their nests and some others.
By the way, red-headed woodpecker is a popular character in the culture. We all know the famous cartoon about Woody Woodpecker. What is more, this bird was depicted on the postage stamp that was issued in 1996 and was available till 2006.
Thus, this bird can easily become the main character of your dissertation and you can make your suggestions on its conservation and increase of its populations.
