Red-Crowned Woodpecker
Recently, I was sent a photo showing a red-bellied woodpecker caught stealing a spotted woodpecker's nest. The male's bright red colour prompts the casual observer to call the bird "Red-headed Woodpecker," but a related, less common species, which actually has a completely red head, has already taken its name. Because the red-bellied woodpecker has so much red on his head People think their name should be "red-headed." The smaller woodpecker behaves similarly, with a yellow-red colour that is often not immediately visible, but the lighter red male causes the birds to be referred to as "red-headed" by casual observers.
