Red-headed Woodpecker

The red-headed woodpecker is a striking North American bird. It's easily recognized by its bold, crimson head, neck, and throat. Its body is a sharp contrast of black wings and back with a bright white underbelly.

 

This medium-sized woodpecker is known for its aerobatic flight and distinctive drumming. Unlike many woodpeckers, it’s an omnivore, feeding on insects, nuts, fruits, and even the occasional small vertebrate. It also caches nuts and other bits of food in the bark of a favorite tree.

 

Our beautiful world, pass it on.
