Red Bellied Wood Pecker.
Well that's what my bird
book says. What do my
Blogger Friends say ?
 |
| Wood Peckers have a voracious appetite for bugs, seeds and I don't know what else. They will peck on a tree till the sap runs and sip the sap as well as use the sticky liquid to hold their bugs captive till they are ready for their next meal. |

we have these but no idea what they are called or if you are right, they make lots of noise and are beautiful, just like yours are. great shots. keep snappin snapper
WOW! Great shots. I particularly like the two on the tree with the suet. Because of your advice, I bought 3 holders & am anxious to see the birds but the trees I put them in are too far away. I've moved them once - may move them again. Do you think they'd come on the porch if I put a couple there?
Looked again - the first one is my fav.
They're definitely red-bellies. The red belly is more of a tinge of red in their lower tummy area, but since they already had a red-headed variety that has a full red head (instead of just the stripe on this type) they went with red bellied. :)
You got a nice shot of a happy couple there - male with full red stripe - female only gets half a one...
Yes,definitely Red-bellied Woodpeckers and very pretty.
This is wonderful, actually one of my dream shots,
Ive been hunting these birds for sometime now but been unlucky so far.
Beautiful close up of the woodpecker... top one is my favorite.
Great shots! Sure do like their red heads!
They are quite the lovely couple! Just beautiful!
You have some really lovely birds in your yard, I rarely see woodpeckers here except for a few flickers. I love those little Blue birds in the post below.
Beautiful I love the close-up first shot great image!
