This bird has been called a symphony in black and white because of the* beautiful manner In which these two colors are used over "his body. His head is barred black and white with a white stripe over each eye; he has wing bars on each wing and the inner webs of his outer tail feathers are white patched. This bird gets most of his food by gathering, insects and grubs from the crevices in the bark of trees, thus pests, whichmight work-in jury to fine trees.
