[va-bird] Red-Headed Woodpeckers in Fort Hunt Park

VA-Birders!
       I guess those Red-Headed Woodpeckers are proliferating.  In Ft. Hunt 
Park, when photographing an apparent Cooper's Hawk, I noticed a woodpecker that 
landed on a branch not far from the hawk.  The woodpecker was close enough that 
the hawk cranked its head around to watch the woodpecker over his shoulder.

     I drove around the far end of the loop and met Mary Carroll Potter, who 
pointed out a juvenile Red-Headed Woodpecker that she had spotted.
     Later, when processing my photos of the hawk at home, I discovered that 
the woodpecker that I had seen was also a juvenile Red-Headed.

     About the Cooper's, if anyone wants to help confirm it, I could send a 
photo or two.
