Sounds like one of the Sapsuckers, but I'm not sure what you have in your area.

Ya, sounds like a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker.

Looks to me like a Red-breasted Sapsucker

Close, but much more red on the head and shoulders.

I guess this one is too big?

Thank you for your help.

It's not quite as big as the bird that was pictured above.

I believe that I found it on whatbird.com

While I have seen the Red-breasted Sapsucker in my yard before, I have never seen it with such a yellow breast. The pictures look pretty close, only they don't show as much yellow.

It says they do interbreed with Yellow belly Sapsuckers, so maybe I have a high bred.

Thanks again for your help and I will bookmark Whatbird.com.

Have a great Thanksgiving.
