Red-headed Woodpeckers have a somewhat disagreeable nature. More often than not, they’re squabbling and chasing off birds of a similar size, from grosbeaks to jays to kingbirds. The birds here at Cedar Creek are particularly aggressive around their nest cavities, but they’ll fly clear across a field to harass a distant “intruder.” Share the space, dudes!
