On May 26, a Red-headed Woodpecker appeared and began calling from a burned ridge on our property. He has consistently moved to the national forest and back to our ridge. While these birds are not a rarity, it is interesting to me that they are attracted to burn areas.
It has been 2 years since the High Park Fire which destroyed nearly 88,000 acres and the RHWO has chosen our small acreage of black timber to do his business. This morning, I saw that he has been successful in calling in a mate! If they set up housekeeping on our property, I will post again.
There is always something happening up here since the fire to make me count my blessings!
