Red-bellied woodpecker... by marlboromaam

Red-bellied woodpecker...

This fella will fly in squawking, throw out the seeds with his tongue as he digs with it at this feeder - until he gets to a peanut... Then grabs it and flies off. The woodpecker is a bit blurry, but that tongue is sharp! Better on black if you are so inclined. =) More info on this woodpecker and its call here - https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-bellied_Woodpecker/overview#

@corinnec Thank you very much, Corinne. He's bigger than most birds around here. The feeder wasn't made for him, but he sure does love the peanuts.

@joansmor He wants a peanut and he'll dig to get one. Thank you very much, Joan. =)
