While driving in the northwest of Sevier County today, I found a family of
Red-headed Woodpeckers, 2 adults, 2 juveniles at the corner of Pine Ridge Road
and Porterfield Gap Road. In the SE corner of that intersection is stand of oak
trees and the birds were in there, and visiting a dead snag with lots of cavity
holes in it in the adjacent field.
This makes the third family group I've seen in the county in the last year;
maybe it's just a reflection of just getting out more, but seems to me, along
with other incidental records of RHWO around the county recently that this bird
may becoming more widespread.
