I see them when I'm deer hunting in central Wisconsin, they are indeed big woodpeckers.

Hi, I watch birds...a lot. My kitchen breakfast nook looks over a back yard with grain feeder (med cracked corn/med cracked sunflower) a finch feeder, stand holding an orange, jelly feeder, and four hummingbird feeders. I have shrubs birds stage to feed and larger canopy trees and a water source. I have lived here and had feeders out 30 years so have clearly impacted the local ecology. I live a hundred yards from a river bottom and an open meadow area. Central Iowa.
Much more entertaining than the TV. Sue and I get into imagining they are having conversations....who shares and who doesn't...the pecking order and how their dance and chatter maintains it. Do you think we might be okay...or a bit bird-brained.
I have enjoyed following recent posts. The day airmose posted about the warbler one did a dance for me while on my hike. I will work on getting some photos posted.

update on the links suggested. I am playing with them and (admittedly a bit intimidated by the technology, etc.) will get something downloaded soon. Thanks.
