Nest Building Red-bellied Woodpecker

There should be some other babies in the yards soon. Besides the Northern Cardinals and Barred Owls which have already left the nest, Red-bellied Woodpecker chicks could be here soon as Papa digs out a hole in the branch of a tree next to our house.

He was so busy that he paid me no attention. Red-bellied Woodpecker get their name from the reddish patch on their belly which is seldom seen. You can see a bit of it in the image above.

They also love peanuts that I put out from time to time.
