Red-bellied Woodpeckers

.

I heard a pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers calling to each other from our camp site, and found the male at the top of a palm tree frond spike.

I heard the female in the old pine tree.  It took a bit but I finally found his gal.

Both sexes have the red belly.  The actual difference between the two, the male has a red crown and nape, the female has the red nape only.
