This spring was the first time I spotted a redheaded woodpecker nearby (I saw them in the past and called them 'tomato-head' woodpeckers). In early Summer, they left the nest for a while, then I found the crows perching on their old tree (where they nested). Recently these beauties have returned, and reclaimed their old home. I'm so happy for these known warriors.

From what I've read they can be agressive toward other birds' nest and eggs. I hope to see them defend themselve against the crows and not going after other birds in the surrouding.
