Red-belly

Red-bellied Woodpecker: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, November 2025 — It is getting too cold out to stand in the open deck door, so I am reduced to shooting trough the double-glazing, but that also means I can get a little closer to the birds without scaring them away. Yesterday, for whatever reason, was a very busy day at the feeders. We only see the Red-bellied Woodpecker once a week or so, and then only briefly, and it was around most of the day yesterday, coming in often for sunflower seeds. I managed quite a few shots.
