[va-richmond-general] RH Woodpecker

["Al Warfield" <warfield101@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker hanging around all day yesterday, 
feeding at the seed cake, and perching in a basswood tree nearby. That's the 
first time we have seen that species in the Meadowbrook area in the 18 years we 
have been in the neighborhood, although they are seen frequently in other areas 
near Richmond. 
The bird was mostly black & White, with a very small reddish patch starting to 
develop. A few small spots of pink skin showed through on the head and neck. 
The throat had a dusky gray patch but the rest of the front was white, and it 
displayed a lot more white in flight.
Meadowbrook is on Falling Creek northeast of Chippenham Parkway and Hopkins Rd. 
We hopefully got a few identifiable photos.
