Super Special Woodpecker

We have a lot of different woodpeckers in this area, many in our own yards.  I often see Red-bellied, Downy and Hairy on the feeder, and even Piliated on occasion.  But for whatever reason, Red-headed are scarce.  The only place I've seen them is at Huntley Meadows, in Virginia.
I had the morning to myself since my husband went to visit his mother after going on a run.  Since it's a Sunday, traffic to get around to the other side of DC is lighter.  So it was my chance to return to this special place.  A birder on the board walk with me spotted the red head first, and added it to his record for the day.  Unfortunately the bird was quite far away, but I still have to use it for my blip.
