Red Bellied Woodpecker Port St Lucie Florida
I shot this today at one of the sister communities that we live by. I was not a hundred percent sure if it was a Red Belled Woodpecker or if it was a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker till I got a really good luck at both and decided it was a Woodpecker. If I am wrong please let me know.

I didn't realise they were so small Dave.

That's a terrific picture you've taken of this woodie lad - very well done.

BTW our new system relies on the Tags (the luggage label) when searching the Gallery. So as well as entering the scientific name in the relevant field, it also needs to be entered as a Tag, along with the common name and location (country at least).

Any other information you want to add to the Tags for your own use would be a bonus! I hope you can help with this. It would be such a shame if your fabulous pictures didn't get returned in searches for people to look at.
