在山火肆虐之后，最先回归的便是三趾啄木鸟。它们喜欢被火烧过的木头，因为这种地方栖息着大量的木蠹和其他昆虫。尽管这些猎物体型较小，却为这种鸟类提供极佳的营养来源。
Three-toed woodpeckers are one of the first species to return to areas affected by forest fires. The charred trees they prefer are rich in insects like bark beetles, which thrive in the burned wood, making it a perfect food source for these resilient birds.
