Birds of Bartow County ~ Red-bellied Woodpecker

This is one special Native woodpecker yet the name caused me much wonder because of not readily seeing his "red belly." It took me several years before I finally got to see why they were named "Red-bellied Woodpecker."

They will visit feeders that offer Black Oil Sunflower Seeds and Suet feeders. Visit my blog and click on Jean's Birds Cakes on the left for my recipe that our local birds love!
