RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER

The Red-bellied Woodpecker is a common breeder in the CW Region. This cavity nester breeds in a variety of woodland habitats. This species appears to be expanding considerably in the Chicagoland area. BCN Survey trends show a yearly increase of 10%. This species' success, compared to some other woodpeckers, may be partially related to its persistent, aggressive behavior towards European Starlings or to its selection of nesting sites away from competitive species.
