Thank you, Kathy! I’ve been paying attention to what parts of birds are
good for IDs and doing my best to get better shots, especially if I might
need to send them to this list. (So, I made sure to choose a pic with the
pink wash on the red-bellied male’s belly.) -Holly

Thank you so much!
Last year, there was a nest in that tree, and I could hear tiny birds
making little squeaky sounds from inside the same limb/knothole. But
last year, there were male and female ladder-backed woodpeckers in that
tree. I do have pics of the male with some kind of tasty-looking bugs,
headed into the tree to feed the young. (I missed their emergence,
whenever it happened.)

Yes, it looks like a female Golden-fronted Woodpecker. These species
are known to hybridize.

Sunday afternoon, I saw this male red-bellied woodpecker going in and
out of a nest in a willow tree on the east side of Dupree Park. This
other woodpecker was also with him. Is she a golden-fronted female?
Thank you,
