Red-bellied Woodpecker, Melanerpes carolinus, Pittsburgh, 2015
This is an adult male Red-bellied woodpecker, foraging for insects in the rotted knot of a Norway Maple, Acer platanoides, in the backyard. As I examined the photo more closely I came to realize that this is by far the fattest woodpecker I've yet encountered. He certainly looks prepared for winter - if winter ever comes. The mild temps continue to linger.
