For those of you who have asked: I haven’t seen the RH woodpecker in the last several hours. I’ll post again if it reappears; my hunch is that it moved through rather quickly. There is no question of the ID: we have all the resident woodpeckers in our woods; this was clearly a Red-headed—full deep red head, large white patch on the wings, distinctive white and black in flight. I’ve seen the RHW at May’s Point and that is what we had here. An exciting day, but I didn’t get much work done. Kim

I don’t know how long it will stay or how unusual it might be for our area.
