Description:

This has been my moby dick for about a month, Chasing it but have been unable to get a picture of it. Dark red head, snow white breast and wing, with black back. It was difficult to get a good picture of it, as it kept flying off anytime and tried to get close. Listed as Near Threated as a result of habitat destruction, and removal of snags
