A Red-bellied Woodpecker in my backyard. A Red-bellied Woodpecker can stick out its tongue nearly 2 inches past the end of its beak. The tip is barbed and the bird’s spit is sticky, making it easier to snatch prey from deep crevices.
The black bellied hummingbird is one of the hummingbirds I wanted to see and photograph in Costa Rica. I was super excited to see one :-).

Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker interesting fact: they feed at sapwells, which are neat rows of shallow holes they drill in tree bark. They lap up the sugary sap along with any insects that may get caught there.

The spot-bellied eagle-owl is a large species of owl. It measures from 20 to 26 in, in length. It is the sixth longest owl in the world on average and has the ninth longest wings of any living owl. The widely reported weight range for this species 1.3 to 1.5 kg....The ear-tufts of the spot-bellied are very long and conspicuously of variable length, giving them a somewhat scraggly appearance at the tips..source Wiki
A common woodpecker in the wooded areas of Iowa. Feeds mostly on insects but will stop by the bird feeder for suet as well as seed. It has a rapid tap.
We mainly did a drive through the park this day and we heard a lot of bird activity on the side of the road at Myakka River State Park. We noticed several Red-bellied Woodpeckers and American Robins. You can see the red on this ones belly.

Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers make two kinds of holes in trees to harvest sap. Round holes extend deep in the tree, but rectangular holes are shallower, and must be maintained continually for the sap to flow.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS AND FAVES
VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
To add some colors!
The Chestnut-bellied Euphonia forms a superspecies with the Golden-sided Euphonia; both species possess golden feather tufts on their shoulders and are distinguished by the belly color, which is black in Golden-sided. As the name implies, euphonias are good singers. Chestnut-bellied Euphonia is quite an exception to the name, since its vocal repertoire seems to be largely made up by a series of harsh notes resembling the calls of allied species. The bulk of its distribution is encompassed by the southern portion of the Atlantic Forest in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. It is not known to migrate and is commonly encountered in mixed species flocks together with Green-throated, Golden-rumped, Violaceus, and Purple-throated Euphonias.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Birds have a mind of their own when picking their perches. While action shots capture that incredible dynamic, sometimes the best they’ll give us is “bird on a stick.” At least we have a moment to focus on their detail and personality—until they decide to take off!

This tiny songbord with plenty of personality was strutting among a bunch of shorebirds, probing out insects from the soft mud and living up to its original namesake, the Water Pipit (Anthus spinoletta). However, some time ago, taxonomists decided it was not a WP, but, rather, a separate species distinct to North America, renaming it the American Pipit (Anthus rubescens).
La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster (Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)
The red-bellied grackle is endemic to Colombia where it is found in all three Andean ranges at altitudes of 800 to 2,400m (2,600 to 7,900ft) above sea level.
Its natural habitat is tropical forest, but the trees are increasingly being felled for timber and to make way for agriculture, and little virgin forest remains within its range.
H. pyrohypogaster was formerly classified as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature but in 2012 the threat level was lowered to "vulnerable". This is on the basis that, although its forest habitat remains under pressure, it has been found at some new locations where it was not known before. The total population is now estimated to be in the range 2,500 to 9,999 individuals.
