Title: Red-Headed Woodpecker

A Red-Headed Woodpecker was working on the dead pine tree in my yard today.....  8)

Wow.... what a spectacular bird..... a lifer for me....  :)

The bright white contrasting back and wings confirmed who it was as it flew to another tree.  

Between Glen Williams and Terra Cotta ....... (Winston Churchill Blvd. & Old School Rd.)

You are indeed lucky to see this beauty at your backyard. Such a gorgeous bird. During my four years of bird watching I have only seen it once, at Ashbridges Bay Park.
