Sunday bird blogging

A red-bellied woodpecker.

You might think that whoever named this bird needed a copy of Anatomy for Dummies, but red-bellied woodpeckers do have a faint red tinge on their bellies, which you can see just above the tail in this photo. Still, who would look at this bird in all its crazy black and white and red strangeness -- I always think they look a little like huge furry insects -- and decide that its most remarkable feature is that barely noticeable bit of red?
