The Red Bellied Woodpecker is distinguished by a red cap and nape, white cheeks and a black and white ladder back. The female has a red nape but the cap is white. The belly is only faintly tinged with rose. These are not common at my feeders.

I very nearly posted one of these little fellows on my blog this week as well. I opted for Cardinals instead. Happy Ruby Tuesday.

The family of this bird is sometimes visiting our garden here in holland but to get a nice picture of her is another story. Thanks for showing. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI love the red-bellied woodpeckers! They are always nice to have visit.
ReplyDeleteEst-ce une photo prise dans votre jardin ? Je sais que vous n'oubliez jamais les oiseaux lors du temps d'hiver !

Nice shot, especially considering they don't visit you often!
