The last two days (Sat&Sun, 13-14 Sept) we've had a very fussy immature Red-headed Woodpecker feeding on acorns and especially Black Gum berries in the backyard (West Knoxville). It's been fussing and chasing the starlings all day. This is only our second Red-headed WP in the yard; the other was an adult last spring. A few other have been passing through as well but few thrushes feeding on the Black Gum so far. The first Tennessee Warblers finally showed up on Saturday as well.
