The Red-bellied Woodpecker retains one element of mystery: its name. Why call it “red-bellied”? Whoever first named the species must have had a wry sense of humor. For, on this strikingly patterned bird, the last thing you would likely notice is a slight blush of rose on its lower belly.
But this daring Red-bellied Woodpecker decided to act like an acrobat and really show off his pale red belly patch.
