Today was a little wild with all the new young starlings leaving their nests, and their apparent feeding frenzy with the adults.
Then suddenly Sher and I witnessed the arrival of one of the most striking birds in North America. The Red-headed Woodpecker has beautiful crimson head plumage accompanied by a pure white body and wings that are half white and half ink black. These birds are striking both at rest and in flight. This one was kind enough to stick around on the feeder long enough for the capture you see above.

Wow! You have a real live Bird Aviary in your back yard. My Mother could name every bird in the U.S. And they liked her too!
