The Woodpeckers and the Squirrels have pretty much cleaned all the fruit from my Trees. There's just a few oranges left. ==Panasonic DMC FZ18==

OK....why are they called Red Bellied, when their belly is white, and their head is red? Was the guy that discovered these birds just having a bad day when he named them that? LOL. Excellent shot, Ed. I do believe that it's blushing a little. LOL.

It looks as though Woody is trying to hide from you Ed. A nice capture with all that foliage behind the red headed (sorry, red-bellied) woodpecker.

This woodpecker posed nicely for you ... I like the lighted background as well as the outline of the oranges. Very nicely captured Ed.
