Red-bellied Woodpecker

Here is the Red-bellied Woodpecker. The male has a "Zebra back: with a white rump. The Red crown extends down the nape of the neck. The breast is tan with a tinge of red on the belly.  It is sometimes had to see.

Unfortunately, these pictures were taken  through a window, so there are shadows.  I did not see a female, at least not  that I was aware of.

He was posing for me very nicely.

He  loved the suet.  He made quite a ruckus as he was approaching the area where the feeder was.

These birds like shady woodlands, which is what is behind Steve and Sandy's house.  They will excavate a hole in rotten wood, looking for spiders, centipedes and beetles. They will even hammer acorns and berries into crevices of trees for winter food.  

They do not migrate.  I saw him in March 2013 in Atlanta, Georgia.
