This morning I visited Diamond Point Park in Bemidji to check on some archeological surveys. As an added bonus, I saw redheaded woodpeckers. On some posts near the water by the boat launch was an adult feeding a young bird and in the trees behind me, moving around about 6 feet above the ground, was another adult. I'm fairly sure I saw a third adult. I have not seen redheaded woodpeckers in the city of Bemidji in at least 20 years so this was an exciting find.
