Red-bellied Woodpeckers are pale, medium-sized woodpeckers common in forests of the East. Their strikingly barred backs and gleaming red caps make them an unforgettable sight – just resist the temptation to call them Red-headed Woodpeckers, a somewhat rarer species that's mostly black on the back with big white wing patches. Learn the Red-bellied's rolling call and you’ll notice these birds everywhere. Cornell Lab of Ornithology: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/red-b...
Red-bellied Woodpeckers are common in many Eastern woodlands and forests, from old stands of oak and hickory to young hardwoods and pines. They will also often venture from forests to appear at backyard feeders. Cornell Lab of Ornithology: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/red-b...

Thank you Key_man! He came to the feeder and started hammering away on it, checking it for insects. lol I watched him for a good ten minutes as he worked is way around it pecking here and there.
Gorgeous bird... nice capture.
