Red Belly?

Red-Bellied Woodpecker – Orlando Wetlands Park – May 2015

I wonder if anyone has ever pried one off a tree to see if their belly is actually red. I probably have 100 pictures of red bellys, but I’ve never seen their belly!

I think that there’s a haiku in there somewhere.

Unfortunately this guy was on the shady side of the tree.

  1. I am with you, I wonder why it is called a red-bellied woodpecker; I guess because red-headed woodpecker was already taken:)

    I am really enjoying your blog! Your pictures are beautiful!
