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:)

Oh, your lucky having those dead trees around. If I had more land I would love it to do that on purpose. It's great your keeping them! I just looked up a picture of Mississippi Kites. I never even heard of them before.

We are having more bald Eagles show up in our area. I get a birders report from a gentleman in the area. I'm hoping to get out and see one. I've only seen them in captivity so far. I have seen a lot of birds but the list of have to see is so very long.

We have a woodpecker here... the red-headed ones with the black and white wings... not sure what kind that is?
