Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus)Observer
cmedmundsDescription
I like red-headed woodpeckers. I have seen six woodpeckers within a 1 mile distance, within a 5 day period (this year). Three of those woodpeckers were within 1/8 mile of each other within a 2 minute period, so they were distinct individual birds. Red-headed woodpeckers seem to always carry a whole berry away to eat it. Unlike other birds which take a bite out of multiple berries (example strawberries). I have also seen them carry away saskatoon berries.
