Red-bellied Woodpecker

Red-bellied Woodpecker, Enchanted Forest Preserve, Titusville FL

It is not often that you get to see the red belly on a Red-bellied Woodpecker. I always figured the bird got is name because they were running out of more descriptive woodpecker names. It is there though, as you can clearly see in this photo taken at just the right angle. This shot is from Enchanted Forest Preserve in Titusville Florida, and though I have seen lots of Red-bellied Woodpeckers in the field all up the East Coast, and photographed quite a few, this is the first time I have had such a good view of the red belly.

Nikon P900 at 2000mm equivalent field of view. 1/500th @ ISO 220 @ f6.5. Processed in Lightroom.
