Young Red-bellied Woodpecker

So called even though its belly is not at all red, and not to be confused with the Red-headed Woodpecker which has an entirely red head and is a different thing altogether.
Birds are exhausting.

LOL! Then there's the yellow-bellied sap sucker which is very similar to yours. Some of them are so exhausting! Great shot!

Awesome capture of it. I've tried many times for a good shot of the wood peckers in my area. They hardly ever stay still.

Ha ha. Birds are exhausting! I am always confused by its name. I don't think I have ever seen a young one. Beautiful shot!
