Red-headed Woodpecker from the yard ~ April 27, 2022

I was watching the backyard while eating breakfast and happened to notice a bird with white wing patches fly into the neighbor's oak tree. I grabbed my binoculars and realized that it was a nice adult male Red-headed Woodpecker! I grabbed the camera to hopefully get a photo of it. Only the head was visible in a crotch in the tree.
I tried to work my way towards the other side of the tree, but the bird took off. Luckily, it landed on another tree two yards to the west and stayed long enough to get these photos.

It was a nice new addition to my yard list.
