Red Bellied Woodpecker
The red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) mainly searches for arthropods on tree trunks. It also catches insects in flight. It is an omnivore, eating insects, fruits, nuts, and seeds. In some parts of its range, it also consumes the eggs of box-nesting Wood ducks. (Photo by George Wilson/NurPhoto)
