Lifer! Red-headed Woodpecker - Melanerpes erythrocephalus

Hello People!

 

I've been after the Red-headed Woodpecker for a few years now and finally met with success this past summer (on a fencepost no less)! This entailed driving up and down country roads in the Interlake region, around 150km north of Winnipeg which is at the far northern part of their range.

 

The Red-headed Woodpecker is a North American bird. Its range is from central southern Canada and then south to Florida. Sadly, their numbers are decreasing because of habitat destruction.

 

Happy Fencepost Friday! HFF!

 

I really appreciate your views and comments, THANK YOU! Have a terrific day and weekend ahead!
