Title: Red-bellied Woodpecker
Post by: JW Mills on April 19, 2010, 11:42:53 PM

I met Photoman and mkybear at Lambton Woods on Sunday.
While we were snapping Downies and Hairies the Red-bellied flew right over our heads into this tree!

You never know what's going to happen out there.  Now if only the Pileated would do that...

Nice pics of a beautiful bird.  I've never seen the "red belly" and actually wondered how it got it's name :)

Thanks everyone!
 
To Moira & rayvnne,
I specifically posted pic #3 because it showed the red belly.
I too had wondered how/why this bird got its name.
