"Red-bellied Woodpeckers are pale, medium-size woodpeckers common in forest of the East. Their strikingly barred backs and gleaming red caps make them an unforgettable sight-just resist the temptation to call them Red-headed Woodpeckers, a somewhat rarer species that's mostly black on the back with big white wing patches." -All about birds
"Named for its easily overlooked rosy red belly patch. Mostly a bird of shady woodlands. Excavates holes in rotten wood, looking for spiders, centipedes and beetles. Will hammer acorns and berries into crevices of trees for winter food. Returns to the same tree to excavate a new nest below that of the previous year." -Stan Tekiela
