This little guy flew into the sliding doors by the deck. He was down with his eyes closed and barely breathing. I picked him up and held him in my hands, stroked his head and tried to keep him warm. After a while he started to rally and get back. It took a while but he eventually flew off.

Wow. This has happened to us numerous times and luckily, as in your story, the birds revived and flew off. Such a neat experience. Thank you.

So, THAT'S what it is, a red-bellied woodpecker...

I guess it's that little red spot on its tummy that gave it its name, because a link in the wiki article shows that the red-headed woodpecker (which is what you think it would be) is very different...
Red-bellied
Red-headed
