Woodpeckers and Strangers
|
More often than not when I am at Stony Brook Park, I hear the red- bellied woodpecker calling. He is a common woodpecker in these parts, but that was not always the case. As kids, we never laid eyes on one. But over the past few decades, they have expanded their range from the South to include New England, and I am glad of it. He is a handsome bird who confuses folks because he has more red on his head than his belly.
