Cliff and I did some shopping today (seems like the higher the gas prices, the more we run the roads) and when we arrived home, I saw a different sort of woodpecker on a tree near where we parked (in our daughter's special parking spot). He looked like this:
I googled until I found him; a red-bellied woodpecker. Now why would you call a bird with a white belly "red-bellied"?
Anyway, I don't recall seeing one before, and according to a map, we are pretty far west for him.
I received a package today; to see what was in it, click HERE.

We have a pair of those nesting in a big tree right next door, they stay here year around. They eat off my suet cakes a lot. I often wondered why it was named that when it's their head that is red. The female doesn't have as much red and it is a lighter color red. I like that wall hanging. Bet Cliff will like it too. Helen
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of t hose here :) they are cute but man do they make a lot of holes. AND it always seems they are looking for something up in the air lol. OVER AND OVER again.
ReplyDeleteI had to come back and comment on the CUTE CUTE wall hanging! IT's adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty bird. I've never seen one. From the looks of the map, I may never see one either! LOL!

We have these birds a lot but they are so quick and so shy I can never get a picture of them on the feeder.
ReplyDeleteHello,

God Bless

I love that wall hanging. It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why that particular woodpecker has that name. I'd call it a red-headed woodpecker if I saw it.

The word I use for all woodpeckers is not one I can put in your journal.
