August 16, 2017 by MoJo

When you first see a Red-bellied Woodpecker (photo below-left), you might find it curious it is not called a Red-headed Woodpecker.  Once you see the woodpecker named "Red-headed" (photo, below-middle), however, it does make sense  that the Red-bellied needed a different name.  Personally, I find it a bit of a stretch -- but if you look at the photo, below-right -- you will see a slight red blush on the belly of the Red-bellied.
