Backyard Winter Birds | Male Red-bellied Woodpecker Seems like this red-bellied woodpecker should be called a red-headed woodpecker. Notice the rose coloring on a red-bellied woodpecker’s breast. When this species was first named, the red-headed woodpecker name was already used to name a different bird. The flighty Red-bellied Woodpecker brings bright colors and exciting action to bird feeders. Around here, only one bird, the Blue Jay, will chase the it from the feeder. They are attracted to bird feeders, near wooded areas, containing a bird mix including suet or sunflower seeds. For the whole story with all images, see Backyard Winter Birds | a 7 Image Story.
