This bird has eluded me....until now! Finally saw one at Cranberry Marsh. What a gorgeous bird.

Next is the Red-headed Woodpecker, any ideas where I begin my quest to see one?

Rondeau and Pinery are probably the most reliable places to see them. They are around elsewhere though, keeping an eye on eBird during June might be a good strategy.
