This adult male red-bellied woodpecker was searching an oak tree in Tampa, Florida's Lettuce Lake Park for insects.
Red-bellied woodpeckers (melanerpes carolinus) can be found in woodland and forests from eastern southern Canada, the eastern United States and as far west as Texas and northjwestern Mexico.
