Several bird photos after the break, but it is great to see the Red-Belly Woodpeckers back in the yard and hunting the feeders. With the beginning of spring we are starting to see the return of several species to our feeders including the Red-Bellied Woodpecker here is Missouri. While bird-watching from the window at home I noticed a few flocking to my feeders. This is always the official sign of spring for us who are avid birders in Missouri.

Woody Behind The Feeder

The Red-bellied Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker of the Picidae family. It breeds in southern Canada and the northeastern United States, ranging as far south as Florida and as far west as Texas.

Must Be Spring – Redbelly Returns

The red-bellied woodpecker is not technically considered a migratory bird. Woodpeckers build their nests within the relatively sheltered trunks of trees, which allows them to stay warm during cold weather. Because of the recent expansion of their breeding range, many woodpeckers are showing more migratory behavior during the coldest months of the year, moving south to the milder locations within their breeding territory over the winter.
