This is a Red-bellied Woodpecker. I see this variety of woodpecker frequently, but this one was feasting on some local bugs. I can only assume he was enjoying the feast.
The weather has not been nice, but on this day, the clouds cleared and the sun warmed things up. The birds were so active. He ignored me for a while, then flew off with some good, high quality protein in that red belly.
