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.

This tattered flag is due to be replaced I hope by the owners ... but maybe it could be used to fly over Baltimore City, the rioting there is not the best display of America.
I forgot to post this today, June 14 is our Flag day,

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.

I loved the shadows and accents from the setting sun on the flag. Downfall - I was a little too quick as just moments after my shutter opened a small plane crossed directly over the flag.

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!
In your basic 'Hi there Mr. Highway Patrolman RED', this is a 356 A model somewhere between 1955 and 58. I can really use some help from you Porsche wizards out there to pin down the year......Pat Durkin, open up Google and get to it......
Responding to pressure from the New York importer, Max Hoffman, who agitated for a stripped down, cheaper, open topped model (most of them went to California), and he proposed 'Continental' as the name......until they were sued by Ford, and eventually Speedster became it's official name. The history of 356 models, and engines is supremely confusing, and I do not know what powered this beauty. It is ironic that the cheapest model then, is now the most sought after. If you have one hidden in the barn....KEEP IT!!
