This Downy Woodpecker was going to town on this tree. He didn't even notice us below him. I guess this was his project for the day.

This is a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker. The next generation ... the red will show up soon enough.

I have watched this Red-headed Woodpecker and a blue jay doing battle several mornings recently. I didn't realize how feisty they can be about their turf. What a turf war. The woodpecker squawks and dive-bombs the jay .. I guess the jay is a threat to his space. What a bird soap opera.

It appears this Red-headed Woodpecker has made Garbry Big Woods Sanctuary his home. I am sure there is a nest nearby.

When we arrived at Garbry Big Woods Sanctuary we saw this Red-headed Woodpecker fly away befroe we could take a phoito, We added a suite cake to the feeder and just that fast he came back.
