Who’s Making That Noise?

The Red-bellied Woodpecker caught my attention with his noisy chatter. Love that bright mane!

The Downy Woodpecker makes a noise like a squeaky toy. This one seems to have found a tasty tree.

  Thanks. I’m in Canada. Saw some different ones when we travelled to the U.S. last year. Such interesting birds.

Great captures of the woodpeckers! I always enjoy their percussive accompaniment to bird song in the woods.
