Yikes! Where did you come from?

I knew a Red-bellied Woodpecker lived near my friend's house. I've heard it and seen it in the top of the trees. Today I finally got to see it up close and to get some pics. It was very shy, but it's a start. He is much smaller than my Woody, so I think he is a a young one.

The other smaller birds weren't sure what to think. :0)

Thank you for your views, comments, and faves!!! :0)

The little guy is telling him to "Go get your own dinner somewhere else!" That beak would scare any smaller species!!

Haha...reminded me of someone who walks by the treat plate, sees what he wants, stops and reaches in from the doorway to grab it, but doesn't enter the room!
