For several months we have been starting our day by stopping at Garbry Big Woods Sanctuary and Garbry Big Woods Reserve to feed the birds .. well, leave some bird feed. Most days we are rewarded by a few birds that greet us.
This one got me super excited .. a beautiful Red-headed Woodpecker. Very cool.

I know the top bird is a Red-headed Woodpecker, and I believe the other one is too, but maybe a female? Any thoughts?

This may be the same Red-headed Woodpecker that I photographed a few weeks ago. It was very close to the the same location.
It was a long shot, so there are not a lot of details in the photo. I still love it.

I have been trying to capture a photo of this Red-headed Woodpecker for about three weeks. We saw him again. This has been a weekly thing, but I was not able to get a good photo. I mean, one day it was this crazy, dense tree-cover, then another day heavy fog .. it has been nuts. Today, I captured this photo. Not too bad.

These photos were taken on successive days this week. This Red-Headed Woodpecker was just having a party. We could hear him as we waked the trail, but he never left the area .. even when we came back the second day he was still in this same area.
The Red-Headed Woodpecker is not nearly as common as the other varieties we see in Ohio. I always feel lucky to photograph one.
