- Male Red Bellied Woodpecker Drumming on the house just before sunrise is Nature's alarm clock. This is the time of the year when they start to stake out territory and find potential nesting sites. The Woodpecker nest box is ready again this year. A Documentary of these Red Bellied Woodpeckers can be found at: • Red Bellied Woodpecker...

We have them in NY also. Woody comes daily several times a day. He knocks on the gutters looking for a peanut reward. Gorgeous birds!
Love it
To anyone reading this previous post, yes, Red Bellied Woodpeckers LOVE peanuts. But, if you offer them peanuts, be sure they are roasted and unsalted.
These woodpeckers also love peanut suet cakes.I love feeding my woodpeckers here in N.C.
I LOVE THIS TYPE OF WOODPECKER, THEY ARE AWESOME WITH EVERYTHING THEY DO!!! BEAUTIFUL BIRDS AND SEEM TAME WHEN THEY COME TO OUR FEEDERS!!!!!!
I LOVE THEM TOO!!! THEY’RE SUCH CUTE BIRDS!!!
I have one that hangs out in my backyard that I feed and he is my favorite! I named him Wally lol
I had three of these little guys outside my house the other day. It was great to watch them and even better to listen to them. They and the pileated woodpeckers visit pretty often. The pileated ones like our bird bath for drinking, but I haven't seen the red-bellied ones use it.
In Birmingham every morning they would sit in the gutters in my neighborhood and drum over and over! It echoed so loud!
His drumming is really impressive! Thanks for sharing this beautiful woodpecker. Greetings. Hope you're safe and healthy.
I agree
Heard this about 5:45 Am in living room . On wall .
I love those birds.....so cool!!! THANKS!
I have one here in NY state. It's December now. He stops by to eat peanuts. I've also had pine grosbeak, chickadees, nuthatches, downy woodpecker, dark eyed junco, pine sisken, goldfinch, hairy woodpecker, blue jay and cardinals, and a few different finches, all in Winter.
Woodpeckers are very cute :)
I hear more silly blue jays than anything else, haha.
I heard crows
I had one of these mf banging on my window trim every morning!
I have one in the back yard who visits almost daily for peanuts. He's beautiful.
I just heard one this morning
I had one on my house in New Jersey. It was so random
A very handsome and talented drummer :-)
Yes(^ ^)
Wonderful, I hope they make use of your nest box! :-)
***** I think I have it where the squirrels wont get it now!

I seen one today, I live in northern Minnesota and he/she wasn’t in its range lol
They like to use my chimney cap for drumming.
💖✨😍
I feed him lots of peanuts
On house.....
IN this clip You can see in slow motion videos that the drumming sound not matched to bird Strocks
Edited video
where is the call?!?!?!
Cara Jean. Exactly. No call. Misleading. 2nd video in a row claiming a call.....with no call.
That's it. The hammering on your roof while the little bastard makes holes in the shingles, busts your tv antenna and ruins your trees.
I'm very late to comment, but woodpeckers have no malicious intentions when they peck or drum at your house. If they peck multiple large holes then you might have an even worse problem: an insect infestation, or possibly termite or carpenter ant infestation.
BB do you have a hummingbird feeder
No calling.. why do you have this in the title of this video. Sure the drumming is obvious, as far as I know every woodpecker does this and anyone who had ever lived in a rural area, probably knows what a woodpecker drumming sounds like, but you list CALLING in your title and no where in your video do I hear the two "syllable" call of this woodpecker. They actually make two distinct calls that I am aware of; the first is a Twilling sound, hard to describe but very similar (at least to me) to the sound that tree frogs make. The second sound is like a two or sometimes three syllable chirp. something like "chik-chik" or "chik-chik-chik".
Is that bird planning to pay for it's damage?
When they peck on your house like that it means you have termites. They peck to locate the termites which they eat.
My tv antenna is made of aluminum. It doesn't have termites.
I thought it was to indicate the resident has cancer.
@J Fitz Not cancer but chlamydia. They went extinct in California from caving their beaks in due to excessive pecking.
I live too far north (in Canada) for termites, yet there’s a pecker that’s been pecking at the house for weeks now.
I actually learned that drumming is a mating call and not just them looking for food. When hunting, they peck more forcefully and less frequently into wherever the food is, so it's quieter. It's sort of like how only unmated male mourning doves make the call mourning doves are known for, except all woodpeckers can drum. Not just males
"Guess who?"
Who is it ?
Omg there not extinct
I believe you're thinking of the ivory billed woodpecker.
