Show us your belly

Hunting for a home
ORMOND BEACH, FL - - This Red-bellied Woodpecker was flitting from tree to tree in a nearby park.  Rather than wear out its beak hammering away at a tree, this species will grab any empty abode it finds.  So, how do we know the bird has a red belly?  Unfortunately, even if it turned around you still wouldn't see any red....grey feathers covering the stomach area hide the red color.
