moving about in the dead wood of a tree.
The tongue is long and can be extended several inches beyond the end of the bill to spear the insect. For this the tip of the tongue is equipped with barbs. The tongue is then retracted and by muscular action wound around the inside of the skull.
The Red-bellied Woodpecker, like all members of his family, excavates a cavity in a dead tree for a nest. This is shaped somewhat like a gourd; it is narrow at the top (with an entrance of about three inches in diameter) and broadens out at the bottom into a shallow bowl, which may be as much as 15 inches below the entrance. The white eggs are laid on soft wood chips and hatch in about 14 days. The male Red-bellied Woodpecker incubates at night and the female during the day. That seems to be a fair arrangement.
