Melanerpes carolinus
This red-bellied woodpecker was hanging upside down on the tiny tree limb. Primarily a bird of the southeast, this woodpecker has also adjusted to life in suburbs and city parks, and in recent years it has been expanding its range to the north. Despite the name, the red on the belly is not often visible in the field.
Woodlands, groves, orchards, towns; most common in deciduous forest, especially along rivers and in swamps. This bird was spotted in a forest at Magnolia Springs State Park, Millen, Georgia.
