A pair of red-headed woodpeckers have been making a section of Allegheny County's North Park home for the past several weeks.  While not the first time they have been spotted in the park over the years, it is a bit of a rarity and thus they have reached celebrity status among photographers and the local birding community.  I recently spent some time in the park photographing the red-headed woodpeckers as they quickly move about the tree tops. I have included some of that work below. For more details, check on the Pittsburgh Post Gazette article "Increasingly rare, ‘drop-dead gorgeous’ red-headed woodpeckers bring buzz to North Park".
