I had a unexpected visitor in the trees off of our deck. I was just shocked to see a Red-Headed Woodpecker when I opened the slider and looked to the west end of deck.
He is a first time visitor.
I photographed a red-headed woodpecker a couple of years ago at Kentucky Lake (seen here) but haven't seen one since.
My pics aren't great but I wanted to share.
I always thankful when I get a new bird in my trees. Thanks for stopping by - Judy.

Judy, you do get some beautiful visitors to your gardens. This guy is really handsome and I’m happy you grabbed your camera in time to capture these pics to share. I need to clean and fill my hummingbird feeder......TFS..
