Mar 10, 2014 19:23 | #1 Once again I am displaying a bird that I can't quite identify. I searched and can't seem to find a woodpecker with the red on his head and chin like this guy has. He is about 7 or 8 inches tall. He looks a little ragged, but I assume that is winter plumage.   Woodpecker-1878 by J Ownby Photography, on Flickr Woodpecker-1874 by J Ownby Photography, on Flickr

If you look closely, up to the right of its head you can see the small holes (2-ish) that these guys are known for; looks like it's just started on this tree. Normally, you'll see rings of those holes around the trunk and main branches of the trees these guys find as "favorites"
