Several red-headed woodpeckers and an adult bald eagle were highlights at
Biltmore Estate today. I wonder if any people on the Terrace happened to
look up and see the eagle soaring near the house.  Below is a list from a
little birding near the Deer Park Trail where others have recently been
reporting RHWOs.  I also had 2 additional red-headed woodpeckers in the
white oak woodland off the Deer Park Restaurant parking lot.
