First, we saw one. Then, there were two. Our red-headed woodpecker brought his "friend" to stop in for a meal. A very rare sight in this area!

RARE INDEED Kristian... this species is experiencing drastic declines in many parts of its range!

Excellent capture, I'm jealous that you caught two in the same frame!!
