One of my first serious bird photos I made, showing a Red-bellied Woodpecker taking advantage of some Black Gum berries, was honored as March’s “Photo of the Month” by SNR.

Too cool! An excellent choice by the staff at SNR. Congratulations!
Harrison notes that “Common Starlings are aggressive competitors of Red-bellied Woodpeckers, often forcing them to abandon excavations after completion. Author has pair of banded birds on his grounds in Florida that raises 2 broods in birdhouses each year, but only after Starlings are forcibly ejected early in season.”
Thank you, sir. And thanks for the info. I did not realize this. Another reason to hate them…
