Here is Mr. Woodpecker in action. He wouldn't turn his head so I could get a picture with the red spot on the back of his head.Mrs. Woodpecker I guess because there is no red spot on her head. And big red himself. It took 3 tries for one to stay long enough for me to get the camera on and set for no flash.
I will have to send you a photo of our Piliated wood peckers. They can take down a tree in a day! Well maybe not a day...but close. And thanks for the session on How much should I buy... J~MT
We get the Downy (male with the red spot on his head) and Red-Bellied woodpeckers (it was a long time before I knew that it wasn't the red-headed woodpecker LOL!) here too. I lvoe watching them! I had to give up on the suet feeder because the raccoons kept stealing them. Now we jsut spread peanut butter on the tree and they seem happy with that.
