Red Headed Woodpecker at Quiet Waters.

Posted on by

I started at Sandy Point, where the sky was gray from stars to horizon. I didn’t see any interesting birds either, so I went to Thomas Point Road.

I stopped at a couple of places and found a few swans and ducks, then I went to Thomas Point.

The ducks are still a bit too distant, and the numbers aren’t getting any better, so I left and went to Quiet Waters in hopes of finding the Red Headed Woodpecker again, and I got lucky.

I caught this Tundra Swan just as he landed.

I was looking for Redheads mixed in with the Canvasbacks.

It’s unusual to find a Red Headed Woodpecker in AA county.
