at 12:45, read a report online of a red-headed woodpecker ran over to fort Greene park. at first I saw only a red-bellied by the tennis park and thought the report only referred to the red bellied. Then a grey squirrel flushed out high in a dead beach above the tennis court, The red-headed woodpecker.
It appeared in the dead trees over the tennis court. It was markedly smaller and different than the red bellied woodpecker. It had a bright scarlet red head white window on wings and rump, black tail, white belly breast and black wings with white windows. Couldn’t locate after as it flew east. Please excuse my brevity.
