Title: Red-headed Woodpecker
Post by: Steve Hood on July 15, 2018, 11:42:04 PM

I did not intend on doing any birding this weekend but I happened to be near New Hamburg this weekend and heard that a pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers were nesting near there.  This is a lifer for me.

Knock-out!
Not only the elusive Red-headed but even it tongue.
Perhaps you should refrain from birding more often
with results like that.

Such great pictures. I wonder when will the youngsters start to dye their hair. :D  :D

Thanks.  I was excited to be able to see these Woodpeckers over the weekend.
