I thought it was a Flicker, Claudia steered me right, thanks.
This is a new one for my bird list, Claudia you made my day
Red-bellied Woodpecker

Ed, great pics...but you have a Red-bellied Woodpecker!

Really Claudia! How cool
Thanks Ed

Hey glad to help..and congrats on the new bird!!

Cool pic!! I had one of those at my feeder too. Me and Muffy looked it up because I thought at first it was a flicker LOL.

My pic didn't come out nearly as good as yours though!

Thanks Annie & Claudia
The bird came back yesterday, maybe he will stick around for the winter, that would be nice
Ed

if you keep suet available SHE will probably stick around. They really like nuts too!

On the male the red comes all the way down the front to the forehead area.

OK Claudia, how the heck can you tell if it's a he or a she by that? were only looking at a little more red on top.
If it was a bald guy it would be easy, and you know that this one was my first Red Bellied, and she is kind of pretty un-like most girl birds, so it was an honest mistake

May you have many more to come...Merry Christmas Ed!

More great shots I've never been able to get!

And Claudia, you're such a great source of information about them all! I never knew that about the red extension and male/female. I'll have to search my old pics! Thanks!

Here is mine, not as good LOL. But I'm working on it

So what sex is mine? I'm guessing a female?

You have a female too!
