The Red-Headed Woodpecker is still around my home on Pigeon Lake. It is a pleasure to have such a rare, beautiful bird in the area and only hope he nests here.   Blair Hamilton, Mallard Bay

(Note: A Red-headed Woodpecker was also seen by Jim Young, about three kms from where Blair is seeing his bird. It may therefore be the same individual.)
