The south Lakeside RED-HEADED WOODPECKER continues but something remarkable to report.In an unexpected surprise,I saw the bird go in and out of a "nest hole",looking like very new. My thoughts was the bird was practicing making a nest hole for eventual breeding,raising hopes for Prospect historic moment.
Asking a friend's opinion,the other possibility is the bird made a shelter to overwinter.If either scenario comes true,we have history in the making whichever is the case. Looking forward to a hopeful winter that would be less boring.... let's hope the bird sticks around.
