red-headed woodpecker
Scarlet-crowned tree drummer
A red-headed woodpecker is a medium-sized North American woodpecker with a completely crimson head, contrasting sharply with its black-and-white body.
Unlike most woodpeckers, it catches insects in flight and stores food—acorns and grasshoppers—in tree crevices for winter.
We spotted a red-headed woodpecker hammering at the dead oak.
