Male 'Red-Bellied' Ladder-Backed Woodpecker
by Wildwood512
Finally the male presented himself!!!!!
The adult males have a red cap going from the bill to the nape as seen here; females have a red patch on the nape and another above the bill. A tinge of red accent on the belly area gives this Woodpecker it's name.

LOL,David! I had never heard of Michelin Stars so I looked it up, and I accept your 'fowl' compliment!😊

Of course, the hilarious part of all this is that this prestigious restaurant rating is from a .
. . tire company. Yes, the same Michelin that sells tires also doles out restaurant ratings.
Michelin has a long history of reviewing restaurants, actually. In 1900, the Michelin tire company launched its first guidebook to encourage road tripping in France. In 1926, it started sending out anonymous restaurant reviewers to try restaurants.
