@Trilobyter Beautiful photograph of the #redbellied #woodpecker, #Melanerpes #carolinus (#Picidae, Aves). A strikingly colored and biologically interesting bird, widespread in the eastern half of the #USA forming monogamous seasonal partnerships.The species is flexible regarding food, habitat, and nesting site. However, it seems to prefer moist, old, and not too densely overgrown deciduous #forests.Only the facial and nape coloration of this strikingly patterned bird exhibits #sexualdimorphism.
