Red-bellied Woodpeckers are pale, medium-sized woodpeckers common in
forests of the East. Their strikingly barred backs and gleaming red caps
make them an unforgettable sight – just resist the temptation to call
it a Red-headed Woodpecker, a somewhat rarer species that's mostly black
on the back with big white wing patches. Learn the Red-bellied's rolling
call and you’ll notice these birds everywhere.
