This Red-bellied woodpecker photographed at Wildcat Ridge Hawkwatch was a bit shy around people but very assertive with the other birds of the area. The bottom picture shows a bit of red on the lower belly which is not a good field mark for identification but must be how the bird got its name.

 

 

 
   

Hairy Woodpecker pictured here has a longer bill then the Downy shown below.
