Well, I was at my Dads house this morning and caught a couple of pictures of this guy on the feeder. Im sorry for the quality of the pictures, because they seem to be very skittish, I had to take them from a distance. Hope yall enjoy!

Brandon, Nice ones of the female Red-bellied Woodpecker!
Hi Pell, thanks for the response! If you dont mind me asking, how were you able to determine the sex of this species? I am just wanting to know for future reference. Thanks so much for your help!
Cute photos Brandon. According to my book, the red on the head of a male goes down closer to the bill and meets that small dot of orange where the females is set back a little more as in your photo.
Oh okay, interesting. Thanks!
