While watching all the wood ducks we enjoyed watching a Red-bellied woodpecker in High Park yesterday and today. [near the lower duck pond] My partner calls it the "misnomer woodpecker". does anyone know why it's named this when it has a tawny belly? Not a bird we see all that often. I've only spotted them in the Park at this time of year... are they migrants?
