There's something about a red head
Recently, Mike has been asking Chris to dye her hair bright red. Chris keeps reminding Mike that its the male that has the full head of red.

I saw one in central new jersey a couple weeks ago. Beautiful bird.
Just saw red headed bird at. Bird feeder in my backyard in Manchester NH. I have seen woodpeckers before but not like this bird. It was the size of a blue jay.
Why are they called redbellied, when its the head thats red?? Just saw one for the first time with a red stripe on the back of its head at the bird feeder.
Red-bellied woodpeckers are not called red-headed woodpeckers because the ones called red-headed woodpeckers have even more red on the head.
Saw this bird at my feeder yesterday. Just beautiful! Haven't seen one before here in Kansas.
