| Este p�jaro carpintero, de mucho menor tama�o que el carpintero negro, se ha observado en el bosque de coigue cerca de la costa. El pit�o, por su tama�o, su plumaje tipo castellano, y su manera de volar, bajo y ondulante es muy f�cil de identificar y, a�n sin tenerlo a la vista, su presencia se detecta desde lejos por su llamada fuerte que se escucha en el bosque como "pi-t�o, pi-t�o", que le da su nombre com�n. Adem�s del comportamiento propio de los carpinteros de buscar su alimento dentro de la corteza de los �rboles, esta especie frecuenta tambi�n el suelo en busca de insectos y sus larvas. Nidifica en cavidades de los �rboles; pero tambi�n en hoyos de laderas que cava al estilo del mart�n pescador, |

The pit�o, for their size, their plumage Castilian type, and their way of flying, lower and undulant it is very easy of identifying and, still without having it visible, their presence is detected from far for its strong call that one listens in the forest like "pi-t�o, pi-t�o" that gives him its common name. Besides the behavior characteristic of the woodpecker of looking for their food inside the bark of trees, this species also frequents the earth in search of insects and its larvs. Builds its nets in cavities of the trees; but also in holes of hillsides that it digs to the style of the kingfisher.
