Red-headed woodpeckers are regulars in my yard, on 325th St. in Section 12 of Hartland Township, on 715th Ave. in Section 2 and 11 of Hartland Township, and in Section 14 of 655th Ave. in Freeborn Township. Also found on 655th Avenue was a leucistic red-tailed hawk. It is nearly all white, except for dark eyes and a few small, dark patches on its wings. A lovely bird. There are two other red-tailed hawks in typical plumage in the same area. Here’s an interesting article on the hunt for illegal egg collectors that was in a recent issue of The New Yorker.
