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 at the Jersey Shore. I get a visit from a red bellied woodpecker but never this beautiful one. Thank you for sharing! Your channel encouraged me to purchase the Birders Bible to learn more about the behaviors and life styles of local species.
I'm in northern Illinois and attract several woodpeckers with shelled peanuts. Have unfortunately never seen these beautiful birds. Thank you for posting!
Thanks for educating me on woodpecker’s calls! I have them visit my feeders all the time and occasionally we have Red Headed Woodpeckers come by! I am about 80 miles south of your location! Your channel is one of my favorites!
I'm in Gadsden Alabama, there’s lot's of pines and hardwood on and around our property. I've seen several male and female Red Headed woodpeckers. But, we're blessed, we have a huge population of all kinds of bird's.
Glad you enjoyed it! Looks like south western PA is on the range map for these woodpeckers, but listed as rare. Hopefully you'll have an opportunity to see one someday 🙂
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.
That is awesome!! Hopefully he/she will become a regular visitor at your feeders. We see them at our feeders April/May through August most years. Thanks for sharing!
What a treat to see them, thank you for sharing!! I’ve only ever seen them in videos, never in person. (I live in Western MD.) Sound #3 sounds very similar to a starling.
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm in southern Québec (Canada) and, while we get pretty all the same birds as you do, I have never seen such beauties here. In fact, I learned about them on your channel!
A "magnificent woodpecker", indeed. I live within their breeding range, but sadly I have yet to see one in the wild. Fingers crossed. :) Thanks for the vid.
I have lived in Arkansas on my farm 4 about 5 yrs and have seen 2 adults and 1 juvenile on 3 separate occasions and they are the most beautiful bird I've seen.
great video and i love your feeder stations. i'm fortunate to have all of the Indiana woodpeckers show up at my feeders including the redheaded, pileated, and even yellow-belly sapsuckers. their favorites are unanimously shelled peanuts and suet :D
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?
We get several red-bellied and downy's and their juveniles - but havent seen a red-headed and we live near a wooded park in suburban central Ohio. If i see one at our feeder I promise do do a cartwheel ...and im over 60 lol. I feed peanut splits and suet.
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??
