Red-bellied Woodpecker

April 22, 2013 in Nearby Landbirds

Discovered this male Red-bellied Woodpecker one morning during a walk along the Methuen Rail Trail.  Over many mornings, it kept making an incessant series of calls that suggested a nearby nest.  After many visits and lots of patinece, finally located the nest.  No chicks yet!!
