Red-headed Woodpecker

1/7/2014

0 Comments

 

Many times people have come to me, knowing I like to watch birds, saying they have seen a rare bird at their feeder or in their yard and in most cases it turns out to be something very unrare, that is perhaps in some alternate plumage.  In some cases people have claimed they have seen a red-headed woodpecker and it turned out to be a red-bellied or a sapsucker.  Well, a recent claim from a friend made me learn to be less dismissive of people's claims.  The picture below is of a juvenile red-headed woodpecker.  This is a rare sighting anywhere in New Hampshire.  This picture was shot right here in Alstead by Lisa Therrein.  The Therrein's were the first to spot the bird and they have been gracious about letting people come on their property to see it.
