Confirmed there are 4 RH Woodpeckers fledged from the pair that nested here this summer. All 6 are visiting my yard daily, and seem to be doing well.
A Merlin came thru last week and took a bird that I didn't see clearly. I feared it was one of young RHs, but after checking the site where it ate the bird, found it to be a Blue Jay. This is most likely an expansion of the colony that inhabits the St Croix Park, east of Hinckley.
