It’s bird time again. Today I bring you probably my favorite bird captured in my lens so far. I According to my little guide, it is a Red-Bellied Woodpecker. In case you are confused, he is the larger guy on the right.
He is the largest bird that visits my feeders and although this picture appears to contradict this statement, when he is around, most other birds stay away. I am guessing the chickadees didn’t see him because they are a little jittery anyway and he apparently scares most of the other species. This is an assumption, but I have never seen him be aggressive to any other bird and generally stays in his own little world. That massive weapon of beak he has definitely commands some respect.
In case you are unsure if it is a male or female, the following shot makes it pretty clear.
