Very exciting. The Blue Jays swooped in to my feeders hanging in the big Norway Spruce and right behind them came the woodpecker. The shock of orange/red feathers on it's head was quite remarkable. It had a slight cinnamon colour (like the Northern Flicker) on its sides. Black and white stripes across his back. But, you were so drown to that head... exceptional.
It was the first time I've seen a Red Bellied Woodpecker, it's a rare bird around here (Nova Scotia). It should be in Southern New England. It might have been pushed up the coast by one of the two large low pressure systems coming our way. Hopefully, I'll get some photos of it in the next few days.
