Description
A beautiful female Red-Bellied Woodpecker perched briefly on a corn stalk. The Red-bellied Woodpecker is named for its blushing belly of sorts, but because it so often has its belly against the tree it is clinging to, we often don't notice any hint of red except on the head. This leads to much confusion about the name of this bird, unless you happen to be a birder. This is a female, since she has only the bright red nape, and not the red crown.

An excellent capture of this pretty little bird! I have never seen one in real life, as we live on the coast, so there are no woods near us.

Thanks! They are beautiful little birds, and fast! Hopefully you will see one one day, on your travels :)
