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.
This red head bird hit my bedroom window today 4-16-11 in St. Louis,Mo. I had never seen a bird like this until today! What a beautiful bird!:)Latricia in STL
Just saw one at my birdfeeder this morning for the first time. The red head was so striking!! He also was establishing a pecking order trying to keep the other birds away!! Marblehead MA
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.
Stunning

ReplyDeleteRed-bellied woodpeckers are not called red-headed woodpeckers because the ones called red-headed woodpeckers have even more red on the head.
ReplyDeleteSaw this bird at my feeder yesterday. Just beautiful! Haven't seen one before here in Kansas.
