Red-headed Woodpecker
A walk through Effigy Mounds National Monument in Northeast Iowa offered a showcase of the woodland autumn colors as well as marvelous views of the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. An added bonus was the sight of dozens of Red-headed Woodpeckers that inhabit these woods.

[ID: A Red-headed Woodpecker clings to the top of a dead tree limb. They are mostly black, with bright bands of white on their wings and a dark red (almost burgundy) head. They are looking off to the left with an acorn in their bill, likely looking for a new place to hide it. End ID]
Here's another more recent bird from the archives that I'm particularly proud of. It was our last day visiting Yellowstone Lake State Park in Wisconsin this past October. My partner and kid got out ahead of me because I had heard a call I didn't immediately recognize. It was a pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers, collecting and caching fallen acorns. The adult above had stashed the acorn in their bill at the top of the dead tree, but they must have thought better of it when they noticed me spying on their hiding spot!

It's #MosaicMonday, so time for yet another find from the PA Capitol project:
138. "Red-headed Woodpecker" (Melanerpes erythrocephalus), from the ongoing search for all the animals from the 420 original 1906 Moravian tile mosaics by Henry Chapman Mercer on the Pennsylvania Capitol floor. (This one is missing its number.)

Great Blue Herons and Mallards Ducks–I think these mallards hired the herons as sentinels. The herons never moved the whole two hours I was there while the mallards slept or paddled around.
Hermit Thrush–I’ve seen and heard these birds quite a bit this winter. They will migrate north in the…

On the Fence
Please click on the photo to enlarge it.
The group I was with Saturday morning was nearing the end of our fruitful bird walk. We had seen 44 species in about three hours as we strolled around this lovely acreage of rolling wildflower meadows dotted with woodlots.
As we neared the end of our bird walk, this regal-looking Red-headed Woodpecker flew in front of us. It landed on this fence post at…
