Red-bellied Woodpeckers are pale, medium-sized woodpeckers common in forests of the East. They have strikingly barred backs and gleaming red cap. Red-bellied Woodpeckers bring bright colors and entertaining action to bird feeders. If you live near any wooded patches, you may be able to attract them using feeders filled with suet in winter, peanuts, and sometimes sunflower seeds. They’ve even been spotted drinking nectar from hummingbird feeders. Dead trees may encourage the birds to forage naturally or even nest in your yard, and they may feed on berry trees such as hawthorn or mountain ash in fall or winter.
