Adult males have a red cap going from the bill to the nape; females have a red patch on the nape and another above the bill. The red belly is difficult to view on a live bird.<br /> <br /> Their breeding habitat is [[deciduous]] forests in southern [[Canada]] and the eastern [[United States]]. They nest in a cavity in a dead tree; the male begins excavation in several locations and the female selects the site.<br /> <br /> They are permanent residents but may change location; some birds may wander north. In extreme weather, northern birds may move south.<br /> <br /> These birds search out insects on tree trunks. They may also catch [[insect]]s in flight. They are [[omnivore]]s, eating insects, [[fruit]]s, nuts and seeds.<br /> <br /> == Interesting Red-bellied Woodpecker Facts ==<br /> Red-bellied woodpeckers are attracted to noise that resonate.
