The very first bird I remember noticing as something special was a Red-headed Woodpecker. It was in a vacant lot across the street from my family’s home in the Woodland neighborhood of Duluth. This piece is a welcome bit of cheer on a gloomy day here at the Head of the Lake!
Spark birds are so memorable, aren't they? And something about this gorgeous bird makes our first sighting SO memorable. This was the very first woodpecker I ever saw, in April 1975 (more than 50 years ago!) and I can still visualize that moment in my mind's eye.

You have proven once again: we are not too old to learn something new...this time on red-headed Woodpeckers and ash trees!!!!
