File Photo from 2010, 14 years ago. Taken in the same location/area as this years sighting. Rare bird for our region. Note, I first saw Red-headed Woodpeckers in this same area in 2010. Then again every year until 2014. The following couple of years I did not find them, so I forgot about them. Then on a whim about 3 weeks ago, I decided to check the area again and was surprised to to find them after not having seen or heard about them for some 10 years.
