Smithy 1934 Harry Woodpecker 19 June Penny Pines, L. M. S. of Saginaw Creek field station Nevada CA Harry male is making an incredible racket "cha-cha-cha-cha" accelerating sometimes only with a peck. He started this as I moved into an area of dead pines, and he has been following me for 15 minutes or at least he appears to be following me. He will call from afar 25-30' off the ground. He corks his head around at me the way golden-fronts used to do. He will put the tree b/t him and me and then peck around the corner, or he'll be on the tree sideways to me (i.e. I have side view) and he will pull his head away from the tree and turn it so one eye and then the other looks at me. It is 10:23 am & I have the parabolic with me perhaps he is nervous about that.
