Red Headed Wood Pecker

Brandon, MS

This is as close as I could get. I had to take this picture inside the house through the glass storm door. This tree is just outside my bedroom. I can sit at my computer and look out and see this little guy. He has just about got the hole big enough that he can fit inside. My daughter tried to get a better shot at him (with the camera, of course). He saw her and screamed at her and flew away. She thought it was funny and said, "momma, he yelled at me when he saw the camera". When we went back into the house, he came back and worked all day on that tree.

It is such fun to watch them! I watched flickers clean out a nesting site last year. I was so intriugued by it all!

I would love to see a Redheaded WP. What a treat to have a good view of it from the house. Thanks for sharing it with us.

That red head is so beautiful on these birds. I'm happy for you that you get to see this beautiful bird. Enjoy them for me!
