Birding video from the American tobacco trail North Carolina

One of the best spots to find Red headed Woodpeckers is along the American Tobacco Trail in New Hill, N.C. With that cherry red head and that deep black plumage, these striking birds are one of my favorite species of woodpeckers. The Red-headed Woodpecker is a fiercely protective , vibrant bird that can be found over a large portion of the swamps, grasslands, and clearings throughout the United States. With a bright-red head, white underparts, and black backs, these feathered gems are easily identifiable whether they are deep in a forest or hanging out on trees coming up from the water.
