About to enjoy a snack just before sunset. Taken near Fort Myers, Florida a few years ago.
We're now away for a week so might be a bit hit and miss on Flickr but will try to keep up.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
From Cornell:
These birds often stick to main branches and trunks of trees, where they hitch in classic woodpecker fashion, leaning away from the trunk and onto their stiff tail feathers as they search for food hiding in bark crevices. When nesting, males choose the site and begin to excavate, then try to attract a female by calling and tapping softly on the wood around or in the cavity. When a female accepts, she taps along with the male, then helps put the finishing touches on the nest cavity. At feeders, Red-bellied Woodpeckers will push aside most bird species other than Blue Jays.
Based on the name of this bird, one might assume that it has a bright red belly; however, the Red-bellied Woodpecker's "red belly" is only a small reddish area that is difficult to see in the field. This bird has a black and white barred back, white uppertail coverts, grayish white underparts, black chevrons on the lower flanks and undertail coverts, and barred central tail feathers. In flight a small white patch shows at the base of the primaries.
In adult males, the entire crown, from bill to nape, is red. In adult females, the red on the head is limited to the area just above the bill and nape. [text credit Houston Audubon}
It mainly eats nectar supplemented with arthropods, often joining mixed-species foraging flocks in the day, along with other sunbirds at large sources of nectar. In the late afternoon it regularly hawks insects aerially and gleans invertebrates from foliage.

This Northern Shoveler is standing in the rising tide but barely touching the water with his belly ;) Of course, he floats, he swims, he is in no danger. I was at Mud Bay at Homer, photographing the peeps, or at least waiting for them to get close enough for me to photograph them. Meanwhile this drake and his entourage satisfied my need for photons.
Taken 4 May 2023 at Homer, Alaska.
Red Bellied Woodpecker on the woodpile. He was having a time deciding on whether to eat peanut butter and cornmeal mix or black oil sunflower seeds. He couldn't decide on just one so he had both!
I'm back from my trip to North Carolina. My actual main reason of going is that North Carolina has the highest diversity of Salamanders in the world. So that was my main focus on the trip. I captured some other shots but I was mainly in search to photograph new species I don't have in my area.
This was the first salamander find of my trip. Black-bellied Salamanders are a relatively large and robust species measuring up to 8 inches in length. This species is in the dusky family which tend to look alike and make identification difficult.
I hope everyone enjoys this image!

Right place, right time. We went looking for a special Warbler. Didn't find it, but this guy surprised us.

The Red Bellied Woodpecker is a common woodpecker that can be found on the Eastern half of the United States as far South as Texas and as far North as Canada. The Red Bellied Woodpecker is name for the little spot of rosy fluff on its belly. This on of my backyard bird that I see every week.
This little beauty is a rare visitor to South Florida. It's usually found in South Texas but it's been to Florida before.
Thanks so much for the visit!
The "red belly" of the Red-bellied Woodpecker is often so faint that it is not seen. This picture shows a typical light reddish wash over the belly, and a male's full red crown.

A Black-bellied Plover taking a break from guard duty.
Wary and quick to give alarm calls, the Black-bellied Plover acts as a sentinel for groups of foraging shorebirds worldwide. Its quickness to sound the alarm allowed it to resist market hunters during the heyday of shorebird hunting, and the species remained common while other species crashed. ~ Cornell Lab of Ornithology
A red-bellied woodpecker. This is a male - distinguished by both a red head and nape.
Photographed along Joe Overstreet road. Amazingly, I saw and heard this woodpecker attempt to drill into a metal fence - I don't know why - see photo in comments.

The red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) is a medium-sized woodpecker of the family Picidae. It breeds mainly in the eastern United States, ranging as far south as Florida and as far north as Canada. Though it has a vivid orange-red crown and nape it is not to be confused with the red-headed woodpecker, a separate species of woodpecker in the same genus with an entirely red head and neck that sports a solid black back and white belly. The red-bellied earns its name from the pale reddish blush of its lower underside.

Red-bellied Woodpeckers are common in many Eastern woodlands and forests, from old stands of oak and hickory to young hardwoods and pines. They will also often venture from forests to appear at backyard feeders.
