He was winking at me!
Red-bellied Woodpecker - Bisset Park - Radford Virginia
If you ever get to the Radford area, I highly recommend a visit to Bisset Park
It has a lovely walking trail along the New River AND is a GREAT place for birding!

Time spent laughing is time well spent.
how beautiful! i dont think i have ever seen a woodpecker up close
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture, Kerri! I was very excited last week to see my very first red-bellied woodpecker. I didn't get as good a photo as the one you got though. Now I 'll have to go back. ;))
ReplyDeleteThat is one flirty bird! :)

Awesome shots I cannot believe he winked at you that is pretty funny. B
ReplyDeleteOh now he's got some personality!
ReplyDeleteWould that trail be good for running? How far is it?
He's either winking, or had been out last night!!! hehe
ReplyDeleteLove the Radford area. The only time I get down that way is when I have a dentist appt. I really need to come down and enjoy the area a bit more.
ReplyDeleteWhat delightful shots!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cheeky little fellow! Love the pop of his red feathers.
ReplyDeleteLovely Colours great Shots!

Thanks for the chuckle! I sleep with my window open and about 4 a.m. this morning a woodpecker was getting his breakfast from the old oak tree right outside.
ReplyDeleteOf course he was. He thought you were hot stuff.
ReplyDeletePlus he now is on bloogers. How proud he is.
That is cute.
What a pretty boy!
Fantastic shots ~ Love the 'winking woodpecker' ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
ReplyDeleteso cute. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bird image! Not only have you captured that cute wink...but also the wonderful color and design of those feathers.
ReplyDeleteFabulous pics! We've had a few of these at our feeder. What a surprise for us.
ReplyDeleteGreat catch!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool photo!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a red-bellied woodpecker before. We have a different kind here...I forget the name...Downey Woodpecker or something like that.

ReplyDeleteI love the colours!

ReplyDeleteKerrie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by. These are some gorgeous photos of the woodpecker. Very clear and lovely detail. I don't think I have ever seen a red-bellied woodpecker, but then I am in the Northwest. Hope you are having a great week.
