A female Red Bellied Woodpecker.
As with the earlier post today (Cedar Waxwing), these photographs were taken at our house in Rockwood, Tennessee. The bird activity is more than I could have hoped for. I have already put out 2 feeders with plans to take more when I go back. I hope to draw the birds down a little bit. Right now they are staying high up in the trees, but very active.
Lynne, Rockwood may become my Hasty Brook.

The red bellied looks great against that blue sky backdrop.
Oh Leedra, my Pete (or Petunia) must be visiting you!!!!!! Beautiful picture against the blue sky.
Hugs,

Leedra, I love this picture -- especially the blue sky.
I can never get enough of the red-bellies. I love watching them. The are hard to capture I have found. I like to watch you from way up in the oak tree.

Leedra: Very nicely done. I think woodpeckers are neat.
Betsy - I am fairly certain she is a resident, no you can not come down the hill and capture her.
My first thought was what a brilliant blue sky. Then I got distracted by the cedar waxwing below.
We have 4 bird feeders and two suet feeders out front and the birds have been NUTS! Some evenings it looks like a swarm of them. Great photos.
Darla - Photos? Not into birding photos yet?
In the first photo the woodpeckers natural camouflage was working, for me. Great captures.
You were lucky to get these shots, Leedra. I hardly ever see these birds. The Waxwings are great, too.
These guys just seem to be ornery about getting their photo taken! Crazy birds!
