There are dozens of Red-Headed Woodpeckers here at Fontainebleau State Park but most of them seem to be high in the trees resulting in photos like these.

He was joined by a Blue Jay and was not very happy about having company.
After a bit of trash talking, the Blue Jay departed and we left the woodpecker to finish up his meal.
