Description
Spotted a pair of Red Bellied Woodpeckers trying to break into a special bat box. The top half of the collage shows one of the woodpeckers chopping a hole in the bat version of a birdhouse. Then they found that the bottom was open but were afraid to go in. I assume that there were bats sleeping in there. Photo taken in April 2007. They actually do not have red bellies!
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Very good captures Dana
Ohhh.....so amazing my friend, adorable colors and camera angle, excellent photos Dana!
Fine pictures of these colorful visitors.
cool!! nice captures my friend.
Fascinating little birds :) Nice photos.
How very interesting! Perhaps they smelled what they thought were beetles and had a shock!
Superb birds! Excellent capture, Dana!
Lovely shots Dana. They are similar to our 'great spotted woodpeckers'.
Interesting duo of shots showing the behavior of these birds, especially digging a hole in the box ! Excellent captures, Dana !
Tres tres belle capture mon ami et les oiseaux sont vraiment fantastique... c'est uen fabuleuse image!!!
What a cheeky pair, lovely pic!!
Very good close up
fantastic capture
The house already taken!! Great captures, Dana!! :o)
GREAT CAPTURE LOL!
Wonderful shots! I'd love to see this behaviour. I hear them up in my trees, but they're so far up seeing them is rare (our trees are in the 150-200 ft. range!)
I got lots of these here but when i get the camera in hand off they go great shot of them.
good shot
They are beautifully marked & colored birds! Excellent captures!
I wonder how it got it's name after all its not difficult to tell it's head from its belly. Its very similar to the woodpeckers that visit my bird feeders they love peanuts but are so skittish that I never get close enough to get a good photo.
Wouldn't make the bats around here a home, they come and eat all the ripe fruit...little buggers ! So, seeing these guys having a bit of fun bugging the bats, I say go for it Red Dudes ! ~Cheers~
Very good capture!
Oh, I never have seen a bat-box, didn't know that they exist, Dana. What a cute story about this beautiful birds, which here (in Holland) are very shy, I love that light red color on the heads. Good you could catch them this way, my friend.
Beautiful captures, dear Dana. Excellent work. Hugs for all day. Di. xx
they are so beautiful! well done Dana, perfect clear!
