The Red-headed Woodpecker

The last time I saw a Red-headed Woodpecker around my property was back in 2005. And I wouldn't have believed that I did then, but I took some blurry photos that I saved as proof...

Last week I was watching the bluebirds perching on a fence about 1/2 mile from my house when this guy posed for a few photos! It was so exciting to see this bird that has dwindled in numbers over the years...  Hope to see more around here in the future!
