June 2011: Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) Red-bellied Woodpeckers are on the move. In the last 10 years they've moved into northern New England and every year they seem to become more common and are being sighted farther North. Often they are misidentified as Red-headed Woodpeckers. This one's a male and here you can actually see the wash of red on his belly that gives the species its name. © Copyright Phillip Augusta.
