Hi all, this is especially interesting, in that this winter all of the Red-headed Woodpeckers (I think the count was over 120) at Cedar Creek Bog in northern Anoka Co., left the area rather than overwinter, as in most years. The mast crop (acorns) was poor this year. This bird probably found a local abundance of acorns, or a good supply of corn, a favorite winter substitute, or is some dumb kid, who hasn't read his manual yet.
