Description
The Red-Headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus), a member of the family Picidae, is distinctive in its full red head, solid black and white, and big white wing patches. It is found mostly in the Midwest and in the east, in open woods, orchards, and in open country, usually where acorns, wild nuts, and flying insects are plentiful. While it is strikingly colorful, it is relatively quiet and inconspicuous in its habitat. It is often seen on branches and small snags from which it flies out to catch insects in the air. The Red-Headed Woodpecker measures about 9.25 inches in length and about 2.5 ounces in weight.
This adult Red-Headed Woodpecker perched on the top of a dead tree while foraging at the Jasper- Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in northwestern Indiana on the sunny morning of 12-7-2023. I used a Nikon Z9 camera body and a Nikkor Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S telephoto lens to capture this image. Settings: 1/3200 sec, f/7.1, ISO 2200. This site is a state-owned property (8,179-acres) that borders privately-owned agricultural lands comprising a combined 30,000-acre Important Birding Area supporting large numbers of Sandhill Cranes during their southward fall migration.
