Here is a picture of a red-bellied
woodpecker stick his head out of the home he (Dad) and his partner (Mom) made in
the tree. This is a male red-bellied woodpecker because of the red covering his
entire head. There are nestlings in the nest that are being fed by the parents.
This pic was shot in Minneapolis, MN, on 060618.

FYI: How they produce? The male and female select and build a nest together.
The female lays about 4 eggs; one egg per day. Both parents incubate the eggs
and then feed the chicks once they hatch. More Info: <
