Red-headed Woodpecker

Lake Frederick, Virginia

We have several old Oak Trees that fill the shoreline of Lake Frederick.
I'm of the belief you won't find Red-headed Woodpeckers unless you have mature Oak Trees.

Terrific find and image Don.

That branch hardly looks large enough for a nesting hollow.
