[TN-Bird] Woodpeckers

Greetings,
    We enjoy hearing bird news from various quarters so I thought we would 
share what is good news for us here near South Pittsburg, Tn.  I realize that 
Red-headed Woodpeckers are still seen at certain spots around the Chattanooga 
area, but also know that they have become increasingly more rare.  We live in 
Fiery Gizzard Cove in Marion County and had not seen a Red-headed since l990 
and they topped our lists of those we hoped would come back again.  Today  a 
beautiful one came to our feeder which also means that within the last 24 hours 
we have seen all the Woodpecker family possible in our area - Pileated, Hairy, 
Downy, Red-bellied, Red-headed, Flicker, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.  We also 
have a small flock of Purple Finches, an occasional House Finch, scores of 
Goldfinces, a Hermit Thrush, Fox Sparrows,  all the regulars, and four siskens 
came about two weeks ago, but did not stay around.  It is always great fun.
                                                                        Good 
birding to all,
                                                                         J. N. 
and Ella Howard
