Red-bellied Woodpecker

I was delighted to see a male Red-bellied Woodpecker today. I see them now and then, but they are not a regular at our feeders.

I know it’s a male because his head and nape are red. The female has a break of grey on its head.

They are fairly large for birds at our feeders – about nine inches when fullgrown.
