The first report came in February 2004, when a kayaker spotted what's described as "an unusually large, red-crested woodpecker flying towards him and landing near the base of a tree 20 meters [about 22 yards] away." Must be a foreign kayaker. No native Arkansan (nor any true American) would use that communist metric talk like that.

Sure it's petty, but I don't need an American publication to give me decimal equivalents of perfectly good American measurements. I don't care! "Hectare", my b*tt!

Probably one of the pecker's pinko commie buddies from his college days.
By the way, LeRoy, just what are you smokin'?

I have those in my back yard almost daily. We call them red headed woodpeckers in East Texas. Are they calling them ivory for the white on their wing?

extensive logging in the southeastern U.S., which decimated the woodpecker's habitat of mature virgin forestsMust be the remaining 90% of the habitat was enough for the bird to survive.

Hey! I just photographed this at my bird feeder. Looks like big problems for the Wal*Mart they're building next door!
