Red-bellied Woodpecker - visited the bird buffet a couple of days ago. A most welcome customer. Understand that he likes dried meal worms which were on the breakfast menu that day. I'm most happy to hold my nose and put more out if he'll visit again!
Here are a few more views, including a shot of his bell (second row left) so you can kind of see where he gets his name.

Nice photos and a beautiful bird. Thanks for the explanation of his name - a lot of names are just not comprehensible to those of us who live in other parts of the world.
ReplyDeleteOoooo fabulous - great shots. I don't think I've ever seen this bird before.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful bird. I hope he comes back.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty woodpecker. They are neat birds to have visiting!
ReplyDeleteSuch beauties and they are great to photograph, not so good to an all wooden home though. They are they worst at banging out holes ;(
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots but I LOVE the first one!
ReplyDeleteThese guys are one of my favorites. My suet feeder is up so I'm hoping it won't be long.
Beautiful photos! This is one of my favorite woodpeckers!
ReplyDeletedid you see on FB where one was spotted east of here in n/e oregon. A rare and exciting find. Some of my birding friends drove over there (an hour and a half) and took photos.
