Gazing out my kitchen window, a frequent practice of mine, I was greeted with this eye-catching woodpecker. I was ready to record its name as a red-headed woodpecker, but I checked online and found that it's a red-bellied woodpecker. Since I couldn't see the entire belly, again I googled it. The woodpecker sports a pinkish tinge of color on its belly, both genders have it. At any rate, I was thrilled to see him! I hope he makes frequent visits. I've joined Grow Your Blog for the first time in hopes of increasing my readership. Spread the word, if you wish, I certainly would appreciate it. Also I am considering giving away a framed print of one of my photographs. I will sort through them this weekend and publish the choices on Monday's post. and here's my small stone for today... surprising vista, swelling appreciation for his striking look!
