Red-headed Woodpecker

Description:

I've been lucky enough to capture Red-headed Woodpecker 5 separate times at this location An unmistakable bird, the Red-headed Woodpecker is striking at rest and in flight, showing its colors of red, black, and white. It is one of the most aggressive members of the family and one of the most omnivorous.

Habitat:

The red-headed woodpecker is listed as a vulnerable species in Canada and as a threatened species in some states in the US. The species has declined in numbers due to habitat loss caused by harvesting of snags, agricultural development, channeling of rivers, a decline in farming resulting to regeneration of eastern forests, monoculture crops, the loss of small orchards, and treatment of telephone poles with creosote Sandy River,a tributary of the Appomattox/James River's Lat/Long: 37.228893, -78.306899 37.243158, -78.318186 37.228893, -78.306899
