Looked out at my feeders this morning and what a great surprise to see a = Red-HEADED Woodpecker. We've had them at our cabin in NW WI before but I would never have = thought one would be here in a busy, residential neighborhood. It was eating black oilers at a tube feeder that has a tray attached = but I haven't seen it on our log-feeders yet, with hopes it finds the = suet. In question that this bird could be a Red-bellied, I get quite a few of = them also but this was clearly a Red-headed with solid black & white = wings and an ALL red head. I was able to get a couple pics also. I read in Stan Tekiela's book that they nest later than other Woody's = - does anyone know "when"? Also, are the Red-Headed's still on the decline?
