Title: New kid on the block...
Post by: gjtoth on February 28, 2009, 09:56:12 AM
... or at least at my feeding station.  I happened to see some "odd" movement out of the corner of my eye and turned to see this beauty at the feeder.  He's a brand-new addition and hopefully, a regular.  This is a Red-bellied woodpecker (male, I think).

Thanks, Judy, for your very kind words!   :banana:

I couldn't believe I didn't spook him, Judy.  I tried to move slowly enough to get the camera turned on and move into position to shoot.  He spotted me but, I think his appetite got the better of him  :)
