[cobirds] European Starlings VS Red Headed Woopeckers
Has anyone noticed any conflicts with Red Headed Woodpeckers nesting failures due to European Starlings. For the record I feel it is Incumbent on me to set it straight. I predict we will lose the Red Headed Woodpecker due to this Non Native, highly invasive bird speciesthe European Starling. Why? Because the Red Headed Woodpecker did not evolve with the European Starling. Fossils of the Red Headed Woodpecker have been found in Virginia, Florida and Illinois which date back more than 2.5 million years ago to the Neocene Age. Approximately 75 European Starlings were improperly brought into the United States in 1890 by a German immigrant lunatic obsessed with writings of William Shakespeare. He released the Starlings in Central Park in New York City. The Starlings flourished across the U.S. to over 200 million birds. They have caused over 400 million dollars damage to farmer's crop losses and disease spread to livestock annually. Also, on, or about 1960 I remember as a young teenager just entering high school.I was watching the national news on TV with my Dad. It showed an Eastern Airlines passenger plane taking off from the airport in Boston. A flock of Starlings flew into the plane's flight path Jamming both engines. The plane promptly went down and crashed. 62 people died. True story. Daniel -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.

Re: [cobirds] Red Headed Woodpecker
Bill, Ok then Fountain Creek Nature Center and possibly Chico Ranch area. 2010? The fact that you saw 'Juveniles" is most encouraging. I will check these areas out this summer. Red Headed Woodpeckers live about 10 years at the most.

Re: [cobirds] Red Headed Woodpecker
Diana, Thank You so much for that information regarding Red Headed Woodpecker sightings here in Colorado. Chico Basin I have heard of. Tamarack SWA I am not familiar with. I will find them though as soon as Winter leaves. Hopefully this summer I can see/hear a RHW. Thanks again, I moved to Colorado (Larimer County) near Ft Collins in 2016 from the East Tennessee, where I had a pair attempted several times to nest, but always failed due to European Starlings.

Re: [cobirds] Red Headed Woodpecker
David, Ok, thanks. I have been on Ebird numerous times. However, I am fairly new to Colorado moving here in 2016. I had to go to Books a Million and purchase 4 new bird books. Still trying to find my way around these parts, but am improving. Exploring is such fun. Daniel Hurt Larimer County, Co.

Re: [cobirds] Red Headed Woodpecker
Robin, Ok, that sounds good to me. AS it warms up, hopefully in May thru Sept. I plan to visit all the places that this group's members have been so kind to advise me where I can see our most beautiful Woodpecker. Thank you so much, Daniel "You'll never defeat, or cheat Mother Nature without some adverse repercussions".
