Although their call is quite loud, these beautiful, bright-headed birds are elusive. I had to be patient and sneaky to capture these shots of the Red-bellied Woodpecker.

Great woodpecker shots! A few minutes ago, I heard what I thought was a woodpecker pecking our wood siding, but it turned out to be a chickadee!

Those chickadees have tough beaks. I’ve seen the same.

My husband thought maybe the bird was looking for bugs.

Maybe. Watching them hear, they take their sunflower seeds and bang them on any tough surface
