Woodpecker lips ??
When the Studebaker brothers were clean shaven tykes years ago, woodpeckers existed with varying degrees of bill hardness.
Those with soft bills became extinct when their bills mushroomed on the end and blocked their view while trying for food. Consequently, they starved to death.
Those species whose bills only mushroomed sideways became wood ducks. Their feet became webbed as they blindly pecked for food on the ground and in missing, flattened their own feet.
They gained their name from the early American settlers. The bill-flattened woodpeckers would come down for a BLIND landing and would often nail an unsuspecting South Bend wagon builder. Some people would spot them descending, start to yell a warning "Woodpecker!" and not having enough time, would just finish with "Duck!". From common usage they became "Wood Duck".
