Genus: Jynx

[edit] Description

A distinctive genus of Woodpeckers with two species. Wrynecks don't have a stiff tail like other Woodpeckers so they don't have the same ability to climb up trunks. Their bills are shorter and they don't make their own holes. They are able to move their heads almost 180 degrees, hence their English name.

[edit] Taxonomy

Jynx is a genus in the Family Picidae.
