The Red-headed Woodpecker is a gorgeous woodpecker bird with a bright red head from which it got its name. This North American species, with its boldly-patterned plumage, is popular among the bird-watchers and is widely spread almost all across the country, and is known in different names like ‘flag bird’ and ‘patriotic bird’. Once a very common bird in the country’s eastern part, this species has been showing long-term declines in a moderately rapid rate, which is primarily because of their degradation and loss of habitat in recent decades.
The red-headed woodpecker was a favorite to celebrated ornithologists like Alexander Wilson and Audubon.
These birds are ‘monomorphic’, which means, the males and females look so similar that, they are practically indistinguishable even when taken in the hand. To know the gender, you actually need to run a DNA test or a dissection of the bird.
This species is the only woodpecker in the eastern part that has a completely red head.
In 1996, the RHW was featured on a United States Postal Service 2-cent stamp.
These are one of the only four woodpecker species that cover their reserved foods with bark or wood. They would even store live stocks like grasshoppers wedged so tightly in a crevice that it is impossible for the insect to escape.
This species of woodpeckers is relatively small compared to others in its family.
The presence of white patches on its wings makes them especially noticeable when they are flying.
In this species, the annual adult survivorship is estimated to be around 62%.
This bird can dig holes that can measure up to 20 to 60 centimeters in depth.
A red-headed woodpecker takes 2-3 weeks or more to excavate one single hole.
I found this one along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.
My wishes is for all to stay save from the horrendous virus and remember to look after vulnerable neighbours.

For Smile on Saturday, the colors of the US flag (and many others) without showing a flag itself. This is the stainless steel handrail of our former boat, reflecting my red jacket, the white side of the boat, and the blue sky (and an island in the distance).
Happy Slider Sunday!
Switching gears again. Some of you may see an echo of the Texas state flag in this compilation of images from Texas.

Apart from the kitchen, I used this cotton kitchen thread this year as a decorative ribbon for Christmas gifts. The thread is in the color of the Italian flag because I am a big fan of Italian cuisine.
HSoS!

The flag are up on Regent Street with the traffic passing by on both sides with a loan car in the middle of the street.
I was in the north end of Princeton, IL on stormy May 1st when the sun was peeking through spot lighting various things. I caught one of the 4 Flags of Freedom as the sun lit it up.
The intersection of Interstate 80 and Route 26 is marked by 4 US flags that are quite easy to spot. The flag poles stand at 153 feet and the flags themselves are 30 ft tall and 60 ft long. If you ever travel interstate 80 across northern Illinois you can't miss exit 56.
There are many flags in many lands,
There are flags of every hue;
But there is no flag, however grand,
Like our own Red, White, and Blue.
