Taking a break

Description

Hi, while at the marsh, I took a walk along the stonewall that abuts it and my friends back fields. I heard some hammering away up in the trees, and found this Red-bellied Woodpecker as it was taking a break from chopping out that new nest hole.what surprises me, is this tree is just full of holes, but it had to make a new one...seems it could have just cleaned up an old one and saved some work. enjoy !

Oh what a cute little guy! And such a pretty species too, with that perfectly striped and chequered back. All floofed up while taking a break - is it still cold out? And who knows why a new hole needed to be made - maybe he has high housing standards? haha
