louisiana red-headed woodpecker

it must be woodpecker week around here.

the cornell lab of ornithology shows that louisiana is in the year round range of the red-headed woodpecker. however, we cant recall within recent memory of seeing one around here.

we wish that these were higher quality snaps. the red-headed woodpecker is an extremely handsome bird. they were taken on the fly and as you can tell through a very dirty window. the only reason that our cam was within reach was because we had just completed uploading a couple of mourning dove vids.
