Attention Golfers!
If you play golf, we need YOU.
Populations of Red-headed Woodpeckers are declining; one reason is that we are losing their preferred habitat, oak savanna. The good news is that golf courses with oak savanna-type habitat can be managed to promote good habitat for these birds and help them thrive. There is a Red-headed Woodpecker recovery project underway and we are looking for help from birders who play golf.
We want to know which Minnesota golf courses currently have Red-headed Woodpeckers. If you see these birds on a course where you play, please send a quick note to Chet Meyers at
Go to www.redheadrecovery.org for more information about this beautiful bird and the recovery project. Please join us - and thanks for your help!
