Description

In search of the elusive Red Headed Woodpecker, we read that a family resided in the Nerstrand Big Woods State Park. Apparently, due to a bumper crop of acorns, the birds did not migrate this year, and were spotted by many observers. To our delight, we had several sightings, and this rare opportunity to photograph an immature Red Head searching for food.
