Red-Bellied Woodpecker


I see one of these beautiful woodpeckers almost every day at my feeder. He likes the suet. He is about the size of a robin and his red crest sticks up while he feeds. Today he was pecking noisily at the gutter on the house so I shooed him away. He has quite a distinctive call which he emits every morning when he arrives.
