Strange Red-Bellied Behavior
In the course of recent weekends I have noticed a peculiar habit formed by one of the area Red Bellied Woodpeckers. I expect to see these characters working suet and peanuts. But this one has a serious fondness for sunflower seeds. Or at least, it grabs seeds and makes a lot of trips. It may be that the bird is caching seed someplace. Strange stuff: I have never seen this sort of thing before. I can't say the RBW is taking a lot of seed but it is having an impact during the times I have watched: seemingly dozens of trips. I am going to need to research this new and interesting behavior!
