Red-bellied Woodpecker, Livingston, New Jersey, 230711
July 23, 2011
When watching the House Sparrow, Common Grackles, and Northern Cardinals at the bird feeder on my cousin’s deck, I suddenly found a
there, too!
I don't know if it's a he or a she, but the bird flew in repeatedly:
In true politician style, it sat on the fence:
And then went to the neighbour's tree to look for insects on the trunk:
I still don't know, when it has such a lovely red nape and red eyes, why call it a Red-*BELLIED* Woodpecker!
