A quick trip out to Bell's Bend Park in western Nashville-Davidson County
revealed a pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers. The first one I caught on the
wing. I knew by the flight pattern that the bird was a woodpecker, but when
I got my binoculars on the bird the large patch of white on the undersides
and wings really got my attention. The red head was very obvious as well.
The bird landed at the top of a leafless tree. It remained there, in plain
view, for several minutes before another Red-headed Woodpecker flew by. The
first took off and followed the second until they disappeared from view
beyond a line of trees.

 

I also observed a pair of American Kestrels flying, hovering and soaring
near the Outdoor Center. My other bird of note was a Wilson's Warbler.
