Lesson Express
Q: Why does the nuthatch seal up its nest with mud?
A: So other animals can’t get in.
Q: Why is dead wood good for finding woodpeckers?
A: The woodpeckers look for dead wood that has beetles in it so they can tap on the wood and get the beetles to come out.
Q: How do woodpeckers help keep trees healthy?
A: Too many bark beetles can kill living trees, so woodpeckers help keep the numbers of bark beetles low by eating them.
