There seems to be a rumor that a somewhat endangered species of the red-headed woodpecker is nesting in the giant oak tree outside my window. I may have seen it this morning but i can't be sure since i forgot the thoughtful binoculars my partner's mother gave to me! This is what they supposedly look like (the bird, not the binoculars).
But these guys crack me up. As i go running down a trail next to some corn fields, they follow me—flying over my head—until i'm out of what i guess is their territory. I know they're probably really common around here, but they're different looking than a pigeon or sparrow so seem interesting to me.
