20. Red-bellied Woodpecker

Date          July 22, 2002
Location     Scioto Lagoon, Dublin, OH




This first view of a Red-bellied Woodpecker blew me away. The black-and-white barring on the back was stunning. I first heard the "chug-chugging" call, then I saw him fly to a perch in a small tree near some feeders that were near the windows of one of the business buildings.

It would be a while before I ever spied the faint red wash on their bellies. It was an additional challenge that made observing them more fun. Still is!
