Red-Bellied Woodpecker
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010I like this bird, I don’t see it often enough.
Photo shot from 30 ft away
It is exciting to see a Red-Bellied Woodpecker, and these birds are smart and they simply look pleasant (happy), I think it’s their eyes and face that give me this impression.
You may wonder, why this bird is red-bellied while it clearly is red-headed?
The answer is simple, the belly is red, we just can’t see it.
I am 50-80 feet away from the bird here
I think this bird could have been named “zebra” (for the zebra-pattern black and white color on its back, wings and tail), red-crowned, or red-necked bird.
Red-bellied woodpeckers are relatively new to the North. Like northern cardinals, northern mockingbirds and tufted titmice, these birds are native to the Southeast. It’s only been in the late part of last century that they pioneered northward. Now these birds are found through the Upper Midwest and Northeast from the Great Plains east to New England.
