Re: [Maine-birds] Red-bellied Woodpeckers

Too bad we can't arrange a dating service—I have had one solitary male R-B Woodpecker here in Liberty all fall and winter.

Have had a lone female red-bellied at my feeder station all winter. Saw it last night. Keep checking on it! Wanted it to be a pair but it is one female that I assume is the same bird all winter. When I saw it last night it was accompanied on the nearby tree with a Brown Creeper who has learned that the woodpeckers frequently stuff bits of suet in the bark for later. Once I learned that I now see the Brown Creeper almost every day.

This is the first winter (in the past 40) we have seen these in Holden.  The same pair (?) has been here off and on all winter.
