Red-bellied Woodpecker
Uploaded: April 05, 2010
Melanerpes carolinus like to eat a variety of foods, including (but not limited to) acorns, pecans, beechnuts, hazelnuts, corn, tree sap, lizards, caterpillars, insects, fruits, berries, and seeds! They will visit hummingbird feeders for nectar. They will consume oranges put out for orioles. Special preference is a mixture rich in sunflowers, nuts, and corn.
