The Red-headed Woodpecker is a striking and unmistakable bird. Once a very common bird in eastern North America, the Red-headed Woodpecker is now unfortunately uncommon and local in many regions. This is the fourth season that we have had the great fortune of having a nesting pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers in our area! They come to our feeder at different times throughout the day. We are hoping to see a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker again this year. They are short-distance or partial migratory birds and leave our area around the end of August.

I grew up in woods in Lancaster County, PA and we did have the pleasure of seeing these guys sometimes. I never realized what the juveniles looked like though, so thanks for including that. Great video! Thanks!🙂

I live in north east Kansas. I've had flickers, red-bellies, and downey Woodpeckers but have never seen Red-headed woodpeckers in my area. They didn't visit my feeder until I started putting out suet. You are very lucky! Those are really beautiful birds.

We have a family which has been nesting in our area on French Creek in Waterford PA for the past few years. The juveniles can be quite noisy but it's a joy to see the parents teaching them. This is after a couple decades of not seeing any.

have had one at my bird feeder for the past 2 days. They are eating the bark butter from the bark butter log. I was looking at the other items you have on your "buffet" for the birds. I usually feed peanuts in shell over in a separate place to keep the blue jays from being such bullies at the feeders. Also it's a peace offereing to my squirrels who will leave my feeders alone if I give them a treat. (well for the most part they will leave them alone...HA!) Would love to see more RHWP at my feeders though. I get Downy's and Red Bellies, and I know there is a Piliated in the neighborhood. Wow! would I like to see him on my feeder! I know they don't usually feed from feeders, but I do know some folks who have had them eating from their suet cages. Also, I thought they made some type of call other than the chirps and clicks?

North-East Coast suburb with all of the usual species but never these guys. Over the years the warming trends have changed some things. Once we never had Laughing gulls with their black heads (only the larger Gull species) and only since the late 70's have we had Mockingbirds. Overall bird numbers of everything seem lower by far. Avian flu??
