red-bellied woodpeckers

red-bellied woodpeckers
...really don't have very red bellies, but their heads are pretty!

I love all the information and views here: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-Bellied_Woodpecker/id

    Beautiful page and lovely luminous colours Kate! Doesn't one sometimes just wonder where they come up with the names from?

    YES, Maree! I guess they ran out of names...and why Downy and Hairy woodpeckers? They don't look particularly downy or hairy to me...

    Yeah, I've wondered about the names, too! Kate, I love this sketch. The color is just wonderful and I love how you've arranged everything on the page!

    Thank you, Debbie! When I added the yellow and spatters it just came alive; I was glad I took the extra time.

    Thank you, I'm loving to see the woodpeckers! Now I need to get out in the woods, 'cause red-headed woodpeckers don't usually come to town...
