Red-Headed Woodpecker

I was fortunate to see two red-headed woodpeckers on Sunday.  This photo was taken east of Frazee on Hwy 39 about 1/2 mile south of the intersection of 39 and 87.  Just south of the farmyard on the east side of the road.  I saw another RHW near Long Prairie earlier in the day.

Marbled Godwit

Found a pair of marbled godwits today at Hamden.  This bird was crossing the road by the prairie chicken viewing grounds.  Mate was standing in the snow beside the road.
