Red-headed Woodpecker Looking Very Red


I photographed the Red-headed Woodpecker on Riverside Drive today.

Two things I noticed about him: he is getting very red and it took about two hours before I spotted him.

He seems to be ranging much further afield than in the past. Perhaps, with his shiny new head, he's looking for a mate.
