red-bellied woodpecker

A male red-bellied woodpecker has been frequenting our feeder lately. He will herd seeds into the corner then peck at them. He's a bit shy about us, but has been more daring lately. You'll find these birds primarily in mature deciduous forests (like around us), as well as woodland edges, groves, orchards and residential areas. Their diet includes ants, grasshoppers, beetles, acorns, beechnuts, corn, seeds, tree sap, and wild fruit and berries
