Melanerpes carolinus
hi beachbum
could you consider adding this to my mission backyard birds of northeastern? http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1949... thank you!
Looks like a male.
"Adult males have a red headside going from the bill to the nape; females have a red patch on the nape and another above the bill." Wiki
This link to Cornell's bird site has a recording of its call.
