Pialited woodpeckers are really awesome.
We also had some Mississippie Kites show up here 2 years ago. They are very large birds, and very pretty. I thought at first I was seeing young bald eagles, because of the while head. In the book I have Kites and eagles are the only large bird I could find that had white heads, and the book showed kites not in this area. I heard just a few days later after seeing them for the first time that they have been seen here. They have come back for the last 2 years.
I think the dead trees in my pasture is what is attracting these different birds. I'd like to take those trees out, but I hate not seeing the birds too:)
