Spotted
The Red-bellied Woodpecker is a common and vocal species of eastern North America, recognized by its finely barred black and white back, pale underparts with a subtle reddish wash on the belly, and a full red crown and nape in males.
Where to spot
Inhabits deciduous and mixed forests, suburban parks, and gardens across the eastern United States, extending into southeastern Canada.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, rolling 'churr-churr' call and distinctive, rhythmic drumming. Look for its zebra-striped back and the bright red on the head of males. It often forages by gleaning insects from bark or probing.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its extensive range. Active during daylight hours, often visiting feeders in winter.

Despite its name, the red belly is often difficult to see in the field. This woodpecker is known for caching food, including nuts and seeds, in crevices and cracks of trees.
