Hi all,
 My wife and I were out driving the local back roads on Saturday  morning 
(July 21) on our roundabout way to Mt. Airy, and we were driving along a  very 
beautiful stretch of Sam's Creek Rd.(which runs between Frederick and  Carroll 
Counties NW of Rt. 27. Just as we came along side of the creek and were  in a 
low area of what looked like old cow pastures an adult RED HEADED  WOODPECKER 
flew across in front of the car. This was just a bit south of Doctor  Stitely 
Rd. 
 
Since I am new to the county I thought I would report this, as I'm not sure  
if this is a known location for RHWOs or not. It is an absolutely beautiful  
drive, like going back in time; many really old well-kept farmhouses and 
country  mansions with gorgeous properties. Who knew?
