Red-bellied Woodpecker
There are several species of resident woodpeckers around Lake Greenwood.
One of those is the Red-bellied Woodpecker.

I stood still and followed this one, as (s)he darted from tree to tree at sunset.

Thank you, Werner!
Nice Donna! Woodpeckers are always fun to photograph!
Thank you, Reed!
Clinging to the tree while woodpecking, these birds always look beautiful!
Thank you, Deeksha! Can you imagine the head-aches they must get, pounding away??!!!! hee hee 🙂
So true !! I always feel a contradiction.. while they are clinging the tree, they look like trying their best to save trees..but actually they are digging it. 😀😀
As always your photography hits… So beautiful. Thank you dear Donna, Happy New Year, Love, nia
Thank you much, Nia, Happy New Year!
A cute one with lovely plumage! Excellent shots as usual, Donna!!
Thank you, Indira! Happy New Year!

Thank you, Christie, Happy New Year full of peace and adventures to you!
Great photos! I wonder why they are called “red-bellied” when their bellies are brown? Happy New Year!
Thank you! There is a slight red tint but maybe rubbing up against the bark as they scoot around, they get a bit dirty looking? 😉 Happy New Year to you too!
I have enjoyed so much birding with you. All the best in 2020.
Quite handsome bird! Great captures, Donna. 🙂
Thank you, HJ! Happy New Year!! 🙂
Beautiful captures Donna, I love the patterns on its back! All the best in health, joy and prosperity in 202 dear friend!
Thank you, Ashley, they do have gorgeous patterns on their backs. All the best for a Happy New Year to you too, my friend!
What amazing and beautiful captures of Red-bellied Woodpecker, Donna.
Have a great new year 2020!!
Thank you, Isabel, the best of 2020 to you and yours!
This is such a pretty/handsome woodpecker, Donna. It was a life bird for me last year, when one made an unexpected appearance in Pueblo, a town south of Colorado Springs. I know they are fairly common in the east, but not here.
Thank you, Tanja! They do have beautiful patterned backs, what a great happy dance for you to see one in an uncommon area!
You are so right! 😊
Beautiful photo
Thank you!
Your welcome❤️
What a beautiful woodpecker! Everything has already been said, but I wanted to add my voice of admiration 🙂
Wishing you and your family a very Happy and healthy New Year 2020. I look forward to sharing more birdwatching and nature adventures this year 🙂
All best always,
Takami
Thank you, Takami! The best to you and yours as well. I’m looking forward to your gorgeous posts this year. Happy birding!! 😊

Thank you, Denise, a fun challenge for sure!
