I thought the red bellies were northern birds. I was surprised to see a palm tree. If I were an insect eater I'd definitely live in a tropical setting...lots more bugs!

The Red bellies live here all year. I don't see very many of them. I was lucky to catch this one in that setting.

I've seen a few but never got a good shot..good job!
Thanks rlaugh. It was the same with me for a long time. I would see them but not able to get a shot. I was in a different area Friday (maybe 60 miles apart) and got some very similar shots. I tried to upload them but I'm at the beach and the signal is very weak.

hmmm that would be a northern or western flicker I bet. Not a red bellied woodpecker.

I think it is a Red-bellied. Check out this link. Let me know what you think.

I stand corrected. I noticed my faux pas when I saw where you lived. I live in nanaimo or what you would call the pacific northwest in the states and we have several similar birds known as flickers here. I also was confusing yours with the red headed woodpecker. Ah well we live and learn.
