The Red-Bellied Woodpecker, has a very restricted range in Canada, found in the Carolinian forest zone of Southern Ontario. Quite an attractive species, in my view, with the male having more extensive red colouration on the head, than the female. Photographed during a day when Warblers were the desired species, but it was a nice surprise to see and take a few images of the Red-Bellied Woodpecker.

Very nice pose on an almost horizontal perch. You could take down the highlights on the perch a bit to make it stand out even more.
