I grew up in woods in Lancaster County, PA and we did have the pleasure of seeing these guys sometimes. I never realized what the juveniles looked like though, so thanks for including that. Great video! Thanks!🙂
I'm in Gadsden Alabama, there’s lot's of pines and hardwood on and around our property. I've seen several male and female Red Headed woodpeckers. But, we're blessed, we have a huge population of all kinds of bird's.
I'm in northern Illinois and attract several woodpeckers with shelled peanuts. Have unfortunately never seen these beautiful birds. Thank you for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it! Looks like south western PA is on the range map for these woodpeckers, but listed as rare. Hopefully you'll have an opportunity to see one someday 🙂
I live at the Jersey Shore. I get a visit from a red bellied woodpecker but never this beautiful one. Thank you for sharing! Your channel encouraged me to purchase the Birders Bible to learn more about the behaviors and life styles of local species.
We have a family which has been nesting in our area on French Creek in Waterford PA for the past few years. The juveniles can be quite noisy but it's a joy to see the parents teaching them. This is after a couple decades of not seeing any.
What a treat to see them, thank you for sharing!! I’ve only ever seen them in videos, never in person. (I live in Western MD.) Sound #3 sounds very similar to a starling.
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm in southern Québec (Canada) and, while we get pretty all the same birds as you do, I have never seen such beauties here. In fact, I learned about them on your channel!
That is awesome!! Hopefully he/she will become a regular visitor at your feeders. We see them at our feeders April/May through August most years. Thanks for sharing!
I live in north east Kansas. I've had flickers, red-bellies, and downey Woodpeckers but have never seen Red-headed woodpeckers in my area. They didn't visit my feeder until I started putting out suet. You are very lucky! Those are really beautiful birds.
Thanks for educating me on woodpecker’s calls! I have them visit my feeders all the time and occasionally we have Red Headed Woodpeckers come by! I am about 80 miles south of your location! Your channel is one of my favorites!
I have lived in Arkansas on my farm 4 about 5 yrs and have seen 2 adults and 1 juvenile on 3 separate occasions and they are the most beautiful bird I've seen.
A "magnificent woodpecker", indeed. I live within their breeding range, but sadly I have yet to see one in the wild. Fingers crossed. :) Thanks for the vid.
great video and i love your feeder stations. i'm fortunate to have all of the Indiana woodpeckers show up at my feeders including the redheaded, pileated, and even yellow-belly sapsuckers. their favorites are unanimously shelled peanuts and suet :D
have had one at my bird feeder for the past 2 days. They are eating the bark butter from the bark butter log. I was looking at the other items you have on your "buffet" for the birds. I usually feed peanuts in shell over in a separate place to keep the blue jays from being such bullies at the feeders. Also it's a peace offereing to my squirrels who will leave my feeders alone if I give them a treat. (well for the most part they will leave them alone...HA!) Would love to see more RHWP at my feeders though. I get Downy's and Red Bellies, and I know there is a Piliated in the neighborhood. Wow! would I like to see him on my feeder! I know they don't usually feed from feeders, but I do know some folks who have had them eating from their suet cages. Also, I thought they made some type of call other than the chirps and clicks?
We get several red-bellied and downy's and their juveniles - but havent seen a red-headed and we live near a wooded park in suburban central Ohio. If i see one at our feeder I promise do do a cartwheel ...and im over 60 lol. I feed peanut splits and suet.
North-East Coast suburb with all of the usual species but never these guys. Over the years the warming trends have changed some things. Once we never had Laughing gulls with their black heads (only the larger Gull species) and only since the late 70's have we had Mockingbirds. Overall bird numbers of everything seem lower by far. Avian flu??
What a treat. Please, let's do everything we can to save our precious birds
❤❤❤
We're fortunate to have several red-headed visitors to our feeders on a weekly basis.
That's wonderful!! Thank you for sharing that!
Where are you located?

That's great to hear! Interesting to know the different locations that they are seen. Thanks for sharing that!
I had one come around a couple of years ago. Once more land was cleared and homes built, they aren't around anymore. I miss them. 😢
Aww, yes unfortunately loss of habitat is a contributing factor for their decline. Thanks for sharing that.
Thanks for a thorough video. Very helpful! We have a pair in the woods behind our house. First time we’ve seen that bird in real life!!
I have a pair of Red headed woodpeckers and and juvenile. They are gorgeous and I hope they stay around ❤️

I haven't seen one yet but I remain ever hopeful here on Long Island! Thanks for sharing yours with us!
I hope you get to see one! Thank you for watching!
Wow!!! Thank you sincerely for sharing this with us!!! I am in south western Pennsylvania in a rural area but have never seen this bird.
Glad you enjoyed it! Looks like south western PA is on the range map for these woodpeckers, but listed as rare. Hopefully you'll have an opportunity to see one someday 🙂

I like all birds, but those woodpeckers are particularly impressive and colorful.
We have them around here from time to time.
reminiscent of the purrs of sparrows and gurgles of kookaburras. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
So happy to see this video! We have 3 of these guys at our house this year ❤ they are a joy to watch
That's awesome to hear! ❤

That's awesome! Thank you for sharing. Our pair arrived early this year and left early. Hope to see them again next year!
What a treat to see them, thank you for sharing!! I’ve only ever seen them in videos, never in person.
(I live in Western MD.) Sound #3 sounds very similar to a starling.
Glad you enjoyed it!! They do have some interesting calls/sounds.

I'm sp glad you found our channel and have been able to watch them! Thank you for sharing that, and thank you for watching!
Bucks County, PA. Finally saw a Red-Headed woodpecker at our backyard feeders yesterday. Truly a beautiful bird
That is awesome!! Hopefully he/she will become a regular visitor at your feeders. We see them at our feeders April/May through August most years. Thanks for sharing!
@@gettysburglivecam9188 they came back; so a true blessing 🙂

We have flickers here too, but they don't come to the feeder. Sounds like we'll have to put out some suet for them😊 Thank you for watching!

Thank you!!! ❤
Thank you for watching!
So happy to still see these guys in the suburbs
Wow, those dang birds eat better than I do!
I had two RHWP MALE and female all summer loved it. only saw the fledgling once. All they would eat were shelled peanuts.
We have 1 male for first time EVER at the feeders today…..U.P. Michigan, northern Marquette County. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏼 1:35
That is awesome!!

That's interesting, it does make you wonder. Thank you for watching!
Losing more and more range due to starlings taking over nests, great video tho!
