It's the opposite here Jeff. We're overrun with Red-headed Woodpeckers, mainly because we had a bumper crop of acorns. On a local Christmas Bird Count last month, we smashed the old record for Red-headed Woodpeckers. My group alone had 38, and usually we're lucky to find one or two.

Certainly an odd winter, Dave. Here we've been overrun with Harris's Sparrows and Lark Buntings - very unusual species for this area. Plus many more e.g., Spotted, Eastern and Green-tailed Towhees than in any previous year.
