This gets interesting. About a week ago, I told Eric Miller that I thought I had an immature Red-headed Woodpecker fly across in front of me exactly in the location Joseph Sullivan described at Kissena Corridor. The event was quick and I could not relocate the bird and so chalked it up to wishful thinking.
After receiving Eric's message today, I spoke to him and we briefly discussed whether his bird was the bird I saw or not. However, since I had nothing much to work with, it was a no go in comparing notes to Eric's sighting. Just reading Joseph's e-mail made me wonder. Two Red-headed Woodpeckers or one? I hope we get some photos so we do some photo forensics. It would be fun to determine if we have multiple birds or just the one ranging across the road and back. Cheers!
