My Haikubox (read my blog post about this system) said there was a Red-Headed Woodpecker visiting my yard, but I did not believe the notification. However, yesterday afternoon when “Red” chased “Red” away from near my feeders, I became a believer! (“red-headed” chased “red-bellied” away). If I get lucky, Red #1 will nest near me. Two years ago a red-headed-woodpecker chose our woods for nesting.

These images and short video were taken while standing inside my house … about four yards away from my window. I did not want to spook the Red-Headed Woodpecker. (video link for email subscribers)

Yard Bird! Red!

My HaikuBox Notification … I need to also look for the other woodpecker!
