Ray Martinez Jr., snapped this photo in his Lutz backyard of a male and female red-bellied woodpecker at their nest. If you live near any wooded patches, you may be able to attract them using feeders filled with suet, peanuts and sometimes sunflower seeds. The red-bellied woodpecker will even drink nectar from hummingbird feeders. Dead trees may encourage the birds to forage naturally or even nest in your yard, and they may feed on berry trees.
