Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus)Observer
cdellacorteDescription
I heard the tapping before I saw this Red-Bellied Woodpecker (I think) high up in a distant tree. I took a series of fuzzy snapshots, the light was poor. When I returned home and zoomed in tight I saw that the bird was making holes in a tree and hiding/storing corn kernels for later sustenance. Check out the sequence of images. I didn't know this bird has this behavior.
