[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

Greetings from the Charlotte Park of West Nashville a few blocks east of the 
Cumberland River's old Cleece's Ferry landing across from Bell's Bend in 
Davidson County.
My red bellied woodpecker perched "belly up" on a rod of the tube feeder with 
his belly facing the kitchen window in a total frontal view (the full 
Monte??).  It's so red that it looks as if his belly has been cut open for 
major 
abdominal surgery with a darker red line down the middle like the actual cut, 
then 
fades to a "wash" toward the edges.  Guess he's getting all brightened up to 
attract a sweetie and start a family.  How I wish I'd had that new digital 
camera in hand at the moment!!!

Cheers & prayers,

Dee Thompson
Nashville, TN
