Christina Evans (cgstudios) > RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER/MARLBERRY-2 Male Red-bellied Woodpecker on Marlberry (Ardisia escallonioides) In this image, taken eleven seconds after the first of the series, you can easily see the male's red belly patch that gives him his name. You can also see part of his tongue, which is three times the length of his beak and very sharp at the end, allowing him to spear the insects hidden within tree bark that make up much of his varied diet. NOTE: This image was a winner in the 2007 Nature's Best Photography/Best Backyards contest and was featured in the 2007 Spring/Summer issue.

Christina Evans (cgstudios) > Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - young female (Kissimmee Prairie Preserve) You can see some of the "sap wells" in the tree that are drilled and maintained by this bird. Sapsuckers extract and feed on the sap from trees. Their work is appreciated by other birds and animals that like to eat sap or the insects that it attracts.
Christina Evans (cgstudios) > Red-bellied Woodpeckers at nest hole (Largo) Stan made this large, natural-looking bird house for our back yard from a log. This pair raised two sets of young in summer 2006 here. In 2007, they were run off by starlings several times, so we closed the opening. Eventually the starlings gave up and the woodpeckers successfully raised at least one chick in the summer, but in another "regular" bird house on the other side of our yard. Gray squirrels opened the hole of this house and raised a family in there in late summer.
