Several years ago we were taking a break while driving back to NY and
went for a walk in Brigham County Park, in Dane County, Wisconsin.
There were nesting RH Woodpeckers, an adult feeding nestlings, and this
is part of the note I entered into eBird:

Thanks for the info, Kevin. It was a bit frustrating to label all the photos
“adult, sex unknown” when there were clearly (at least) 2 different birds, and
it seemed a good bet that there was (at least) 1 of each sex. But so be it.

No, and no. :^(
The sexes in Red-headed Woodpeckers are not distinguishable by plumage. The
difference in staining could very well be the consequence of one bird being in
the nest cavity more than the other, but it is usually the male that does more
incubation and brooding than the female, as i

I spent 45 minutes there this afternoon and they were having a dispute with
some starlings over a cavity close to the road, they seemed insistent that it
was theirs but the starlings were in possession and not giving it up.

They are definitely feeding on wild grape at Mays, one can watch them on the
George's notes in eBird say "south of the dam". The location of pointers for eBird checklists can vary for many reasons, including:* using a "hotspot" pointer or previous personal location pointer which is near, not at, the observation, or which was placed sloppily to begin with* using a pointer fo
On the map it looks like the RH Woodpeckers were NORTH of Mud Lock, not south.

Back in the 80's when I was living in SW Michigan (near Kellogg Biological
Station, in Delton, MI), a pair of red-headed woodpeckers brought their
fledglings every year to eat mulberries at a productive group of trees.
