When I taught at Meadowbrook High School, we had a meeting at my department
chair's house in a subdivision off Iron Bridge Rd. near route 288.  I saw a
Red-headed Woodpecker in his backyard.  That was about 7 or 8 years ago.

> We had a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker hanging around all day yesterday,
feeding at the seed cake, and perching in a basswood tree nearby. That's the
first time we have seen that species in the Meadowbrook area in the 18 years
we have been in the neighborhood, although they are seen frequently in other
areas near Richmond.
> The bird was mostly black & White, with a very small reddish patch
starting to develop. A few small spots of pink skin showed through on the
head and neck. The throat had a dusky gray patch but the rest of the front
was white, and it displayed a lot more white in flight.
> Meadowbrook is on Falling Creek northeast of Chippenham Parkway and
Hopkins Rd. We hopefully got a few identifiable photos.
