Hi All, I was able to find the Red-headed Woodpecker with Dave and Donna's directions. With patience, I was able to observe it both at the tree they are working at and at closer ranges. They appeared to exchange the job of excavating with one of them almost always there. When they fly with their distinctive black and white pattern, one should find the tree they are working on. Here are a couple, though I have some more I haven't had time to even look at. Many thanks for the postings. It is a beautiful bird.
