Red-headed Woodpeckers, Heil Ranch, Bldr Cty, 9/2

[Thomas Heinrich]

Just got back from a bike ride out to Heil Ranch where I found 2 juvenile Red-headed Woodpeckers by the old ranch buildings right by the cattle guard. I watched them for about 1 1/2 hrs hoping to see an adult or two, but none showed up. They were in trees, on posts, and on utility posts on both sides of the road, and quite a while in an elm next to the old stone cabin on the east side.

Good birding,
