Red-headed Woodpecker

The big prize:

Red-headed Woodpecker

Unfortunately, he never got closer than probably a hundred yards, so I couldn’t do much with the camera. Luckily, he was distinctive enough that I didn’t have to run back for the scope.

But before he was found:

Pileated Woodpecker

Pileated Woodpecker Excavating a Hole

Yes, that’s sawdust from him.

There were birds all over, including 6 species of woodpecker, singing Winter Wren, too many Tree Swallows to count, and this guy:

Osprey perched

Osprey with Fish

Even further than the woodpecker and after it had clouded over, but still was worth trying.
