Red-bellied Woodpeckers are so acrobatic they could be in the circus. As they forage around for insects in trees as seen in the top photo captured at St. Marks Wildlife Refuge near Tallahassee, Florida. They are quite adaptive to visiting your feeders as well. They love the peanuts and will do a “grab and go”. So often, we will watch them come, grab a peanut and fly off to stash it in a hiding place. They will do this back and forth regimen until they raid the whole feeder of the peanuts as seen in the photo below.
So happy to be back for squares in 2021!

These are superb captures
How beautiful is he? Perfectly posed for you, Lisa 🙂 🙂
I love watching our woody woodpecker. He thinks he’s the proprietor of the bird feeder.
Beautiful shots of those redheaded acrobats, Lisa.
Beautiful photos, Lisa. Thank you for visiting my blog earlier. I just started hosting the Weekend Coffee Share on January 8. It’s on every Friday through to Sunday. You’re welcome to join in any week.
Thank you Natalie. Your comment went into my spam. Unfortunately, I don’t drink coffee. Lots of hot chocolate but never acquired the taste for coffee. I appreciate the invite. 🙂
So pretty!
Both of them in their own right. 🙂
great photos, clever bird!
Thanks! They are fun to watch! They have such personality too!
Gorgeous captures!
Thank you so much Maria! 🙂
Beautiful images of this one, Lisa! I’ve never seen one of these.
Oh boy! Guess we will have to plan that trip in another year. How’s your mom doing?
She’s getting stronger and stay up longer, thankfully. I’d love to make that trip!
That is good to hear. I’m praying for her to get better! 🙂
Thank you!🥰
Terrific shots of this acrobatic woodpecker, Lisa. A favorite bird to see.
