Came here to learn about the woodpeckers I see from my own balcony. Excellent narrative!

You sound like the guy who narrated the old Disney documentaries from the 1950's. I loved his voice. He always had that cheery tone, even when describing something really ghastly in the animal kingdom. This is a nice video.

This is a well done & narrated video Sam. Great job! I have a red bellied woodpecker, thanks for teaching me the name, living in one of my trees. He has learned to fly down & take peanuts that I feed to the squirrels, and now a family of blue jays. Strange thing is, being that blue jays are so aggressive, one of the blue jays is always with the woodpecker. They fly down together, & take peanuts. If you see the blue jay, the woodpecker is right behind him. Like best friends. That is strange. The woodpecker seems to be watching the blue jay all the time, I think that's how he learned that I was feeding the peanuts.The oak tree is too high up,& I believe there is only 1 woodpecker. I only know, we heard the pecking awhile back & realized we had a woodpecker. Then he made a showing when he learned about the peanuts. There are also barn owls, so this small yard is like a little wildlife preserve. Incredible how many animals are visiting us! Armadillos, raccoons, you name it!

Thank you for your documentary it was interesting and given a lot of knowledge. I’m seeing the red belly woodpecker come to my tree almost every day they are so pretty . I feed them too .

Lucky you! I've spotted quite a few different hammerheads on our street this past year, Red-Headed, Downy, Northern Flicker and today, after hearing what sounded like a jackhammer out my bedroom window, I looked out the window to see a gorgeous Red-Bellied. Spectacular!

Than you for this very well done video! I became curious about this bird about a year ago when I saw a male red bellied woodpecker on my suet feeder instead of the usual downy woodpeckers I see.I have not seen him since, but realized that I hav heard the call before.

Wonderful! I love citizen-naturalist backyard projects. They really illuminate the wonder surrounding our everyday lives! Great photography & commentary!

Thanks to your excellent video I was able to confirm the Red-bellied woodpecker in my backyard and around my feeders.

Fantastic work ! Thank you.

Thank you so much. This week I discovered the nest of the red bellied woodpecker. I have been observing them and photographing them. Your video is a great help to me.

As a woodpecker lover, I really enjoyed this documentary and how red-bellies are raised 🖤🤍❤️

I just finished watching your well-done presentation with my young grandson. He was fascinated with the birds and especially enjoyed seeing their baby. Now if we could only find some outside...

Great video. Thank you very much. We have a nesting pair in our front yard. It's always a pleasure to hear the chick's peeping as we walk by

Excellent Video, how nice that it is in your back yard, I wish you many future upbringings of the red bellied woodpecker!, Thank you for sharing:-)

Great video! I have a pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers that are nesting in the tree outside of my bedroom window. It has been fascinating to watch them. I think they are now sitting on the eggs. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will see little ones! Thanks for doing the video!!

Wonderful video. I put it on for my cats but ended up watching it myself. Very informative.

This was so well documented. Thanks for providing. Regarding the wood chips, the red bellied bird houses (made for the downy, red bellied, and red headed woodpeckers, one of the few that will live in a man-made house) you can buy come with a bag of wood chips. Perhaps when they were flinging the chips out of this house they were cleaning out a bit.

Thank you for posting this video! A pair of red bellied woodpeckers have recently chosen a tree in my front yard to make a nest. This video is helpful in explaining the behaviors I'm observing!

Thanks so much. I am now watching a pair in a dead tree in my front yard. This video not only helped me identify the pair by sight and sound, but it also gave me great info on what I was already seeing and what I can look forward to in the near future. A beautiful video.

Ha! I noticed I came across and watched your great video 3 years to the day that you posted it! Good work and information.
