RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER: A PHOTO A WEEK – Marilyn Armstrong

By on • ( 9 )

A Photo a Week Challenge: New

There’s nothing new at the moment except for a new year about to arrive. And a new lens for the camera. So I guess you can say that these pictures were created from something new. You think?

And the bird feeder is almost new. I bought them in November which, as far as I can tell, was yesterday and I have NO idea how we got to the end of December.

Because I’m still in November. I am so unready for a new year!

One Red-bellied Woodpecker. He’s also square because I keep making square pictures. I can’t help myself. A  month of square pictures and I’m in the groove

And just because, this is the start of a new day for the new year

    I’ve always wondered why this bird is called Red-bellied. Looks white to me.
    Oh and time? I’ve given up. At this age, it simply no longer makes any sense at all…

    So Happy, uh, this very minute?

      It actually has a red patch on its stomach. It can’t be red-headed because that name’s taken so … red-bellied. But they do have red blotches on their stomachs. Hard to see unless they are in a position where you can see their stomach.

      I was thinking that myself. He’s more of a redheaded woodpecker don’t you think?

        Yes, but with a couple of exceptions, they all have at least a patch of red on their head. So the original Redhead is the Pileated Woodpecker — a BIG bird with a beak like a drill — who looks just like Woody … and there are a couple with complete red-heads, but they are smaller without that interesting wedge-shaped head. Somebody has to make the call 🙂
