Field Notes

Description:

Black and white marbled back with a white belly and bright red mohawk.

Habitat:

Mixed forest.

Notes:

I love woodpeckers and someday I'm going to get the picture I want of this red-bellied guy. Today, I JUST missed him sitting on the ground about 10 feet from me, but didn't have my camera around my neck. So close.
