Red-bellied Woodpeckers are pale, medium-sized woodpeckers common in forests throughout the East. As the species name carolinus implies, they formerly inhabited chiefly the Southeast, but in recent decades their range has expanded northward and westward. Their strikingly barred backs and gleaming red caps (more of a neck patch on females) make them an unforgettable sight—just resist the temptation to call them Red-headed Woodpeckers, a species that has an entirely red head. Learn the Red-bellied’s rolling call, and you’ll notice these birds everywhere.

You may see Red-bellied Woodpeckers wedge large nuts into bark crevices, then use their beaks to whack them into manageable pieces. They also store food in cracks in trees and fence posts, a habit shared with other woodpeckers in its genus. They readily come to feeders.
