    Frequency of woodpeckers

    Hello everyone, I have a question regarding woodpeckers. I’ve been feeding them a little while now and I was just wondering how often you are likely to see them at your feeders. I see the downy’s every day, but the hairy and red bellie only every so often. I know the downy’s are more common but...

    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.

    Rarely do I get the opportunity to see the female of the species. She must be shy.

    Red Bellied Woodpecker

    Had this very unusual guest drop in my yard in the winter of 2015. Although it's not unheard of to see one here, they are very rare in these parts. We are outside the northern range of these birds. I had never seen one before, and I have not seen one since. This one came almost every day for...

    It was unusual for to see this woodpecker perched on this sign. I was happy to come upon him taking a rest!

    I thought I would never see this bird again.At one time they were very rare in Maine.The last time I saw one was in Camden,Me I guess they are on the rise here.

    Sticking his tongue out

    Actually this red bellied woodpecker was having an issue with some particularly sticky peanut butter. Maybe it was sticking to the inside of his bill, he worked his tongue like this a lot to get it down. Neat to catch him with his tongue out like that though. .

    The red bellied woodpecker that driops by occasionally. He stops by for a quick bite then leaves after a short visit. he never stays long, but judging from that belly, he gets ebough to eat!

    Red bellied woodpecker

    I guess he's getting more comfortable with the yard and the feeding areas. This is much closer to the house than he's ever come before. They certainly are a pretty bird.

    The red bellied woodpecker popped in for a visit again today. My hope grows that it will stay in the area and get a share of the feed we put out. So far it seems to be doing ok and it's a pleasure to keep seeing it.

    I feel like someone's watching me

    Red Bellied Woodpecker. This is a very skittish bird. The hairy and downy woodpeckers that visit my yard are fairly tolerant of my presence, and often when they're perched somewhere, I'll maneuver around, trying to get the best angle for a shot, and they don't pay me much attention. Not with...

    Red Bellied Woodpecker

    No humorous or pun filled title for this one. This is serious business! lol Today has been a banner day for me. First the grosbeaks, then this bird swooped in. It's what I take to be a red bellied woodpecker. This is a lifer for me. Initially I thought it to be a northern flicker, but then I...
