Gary snapped this today. We've been trying for several years to get a decent photo of a red headed woodpecker. This is only mediocre but good enough to prove that we do have these rather hard to find birds around. Generally we see one only about this time of year. They prefer large dead trees for nesting, and we have several now so perhaps they'll stick around longer.
