Thanks for the ping to #90. I'm glad to hear that you've seen the elegant Red-Headed WP; I haven't seen them since my youth in Ar and I understand that their numbers have been in decline for years now. I have one regular R-B WP and a pair of quite tame Downies that visit regularly, though. They fancy nuts and peanut butter.

I've had a wider diversity of birds this winter than in the previous 10 yrs here in Texas.

We have lots of downys, and red breasted woodpeckers. But on very rare occasions see the pilated. I've seen one more often this past year because I just recently started "looking" for birds:). I had no clue that we had such a varity here. Oklahoma. I put feeders out in the winter for the birds.

We had a lot of Red-headed woodpeckers when I was growing up. I seem to remember them as being a bit smaller though, and of course, the species that inspired the Woody Woodpecker cartoon show....one of my favorites when I was a kid.

This one showed up a few days ago and I've seen him every day since. I hope he brings in the family.
