Red-bellied Woodpecker

I saw a female Downy Woodpecker in the morning, so decided to put my hanging suet cage out finally for the first time, with a crunchy peanut butter sandwich inside. I didn't see the Downy Woodpecker again, though, but did surprisingly see the cool-looking Red-bellied Woodpecker come to it and peck at it a few times. It came right after I put it out there. The head looks more orange than red to me, though. I went to get my camera, but, of course, it wasn't there when I came back. Heh. I think I've seen this kind of woodpecker in my yard one or two other times maybe. Definitely a rare sight to see. Hopefully it will become less rare to see.
