A year round resident, year round in most of the eastern US. A medium sized woodpecker. A female Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus).

It showed up this morning teasing me with poses that didn’t last very long but I managed to get a few pictures.

This makes me think, I’ve got to get into the kitchen and whip up some suet for the woodpeckers. They love it.
