A story of triumph in 3 acts.
Success! The woodpecker is now leaning back on the feeder as it has pulled a seed out, which can be seen in its needle nose plier beak. The bird is nearly in profile as one of its feet still grasps the metal perch off the feeder (which it cannot use to sit as the bird is too large.)
The woodpecker has braced itself and has confidently gone into feeder opening with its dark gray beak. It has a determined look on outs face as it hopes to retrieve a seed. A little bit more of its bright red head can be seen.
A medium sized woodpecker is precariously perched on a hanging tube bird feeder. It is a little large to be using this feeder so it is somewhat crouched down, trying to strategize how to put its longish beak into the opening. Red-bellied Woodpeckers are infuriatingly named because it is seldom that you actually see the red belly. But it does have a red patch atop its head and an orange blotch where its beak connects to its head. Its wings are a smattering of black and white feathers.
