The Red-headed Woodpecker was again in my neighbor’s yard this weekend, sporting quite a bit of red now. This makes exactly four months since it showed up on November 22nd.
It seems to have weathered Mother Nature’s worst. However, yesterday, with all the snow melt and its caches probably depleted, I saw it foraging for acorns on the ground near my neighbor’s porch. This will almost certainly be its death sentence as my neighbor’s cats are absolute killers. I’ll continue to report on any future sightings.....
