Has anyone in group seen a Red Headed Woodpecker here in Colorado.  I am doing some research regarding the RHW steep population declines.  Thank You,  Daniel

Daniel,

We had a Red-headed Woodpecker at our cabin in Allenspark last year on September 24, 2022.

Daniel,

I have a picture of a juvenile red-headed woodpecker that I saw at Fountain Creek Nature Center in about 2010. I have also seen them in the banding area at Chico ranch where many other folks have seen them.

I have also seen them at Chico Basin like Bill, and Tamarack SWA..  Two or three years ago, one over-wintered on Fort Carson and was counted in the Fountain Creek CBC that year.

Hi Daniel,

Why not look at and download the 1000s of sightings of RHWO from Colorado on eBird?

The prevalence of the species is shown on eBird.

Anecdotally, that year 2020 spike on David's eBird graph included a number of Front Range sightings in late spring-into-summer, including in central Denver's Heron Pond Natural Area, in a since-closed-access part of Box Elder Creek on the eastern outskirts of Denver International Airport, and in JeffCo's Coal Creek Open Space, among others.

When my husband and I first moved to Colorado, we lived in the Southeastern part of Loveland (Larimer County). Our condo was near a wooded area. We had a Male Red-headed Woodpecker that came to our yard and feeders often during the summer of 2010.  (Blurry photo attached. National Geographic hasn't asked for it, but it will do for ID purposes.)

Robin,  Ok, that sounds good to me. AS it warms up, hopefully in May thru Sept. I plan to visit

all the places that this group's members have been so kind to advise me where I can see our

most beautiful Woodpecker.  Thank you so much,  Daniel

Diana,  Thank You so much for that information regarding Red Headed Woodpecker sightings

here in Colorado. Chico Basin I have heard of. Tamarack SWA I am not familiar with. I will find

them though as soon as Winter leaves. Hopefully this summer I can see/hear a RHW.

Thanks again,  I moved to Colorado (Larimer County) near Ft Collins in 2016 from the East

Tennessee, where I had a pair attempted several times to nest, but always failed due to

European Starlings.  Daniel

Bill,  Ok then Fountain Creek Nature Center and possibly Chico Ranch area. 2010?

The fact that  you saw 'Juveniles" is most encouraging. I will check these areas

out this summer. Red Headed Woodpeckers live about 10 years at the most.

David,

  Ok, thanks. I have been on Ebird numerous times. However, I am fairly new to Colorado

moving here in 2016. I had to go to Books a Million and purchase 4 new bird books. Still

trying to find my way around these parts, but am  improving. Exploring is such fun.
