The Bird of the Day today is the red-bellied woodpecker. These woodpeckers range as far west as Nebraska, as far south as Florida, as far east as Maine, and as far north as the middle of Minnesota. At 9 1/4 inches in length, they are barely smaller than a hairy woodpecker.
Red-bellied woodpeckers can be challenging to photograph. I took the two pictures for this post in two different locations in Roseville, Minnesota. These birds seem to move rapidly, and stay quite high on the tree.
