Update: After careful observation a sapsucker was seen at the tree. Apparently the other woodpeckers were taking advantage of the sap pools. Even a finch was seen hanging around the wounds.

I have a young, 2 inch diameter Red Oak. A mated pair of Golden-fronted woodpeckers are girding the tree. The pattern of pecks is similar to the sapsucker I saw on line, but it is definitely the golden fronted doing the damage. I've screened the trunk. Stood on a step stool and painted the damage about 10 feet up. Now they are moving higher. Is this normal behavior? I'm afraid they have signed the death warrant for this tree planted as a two year old it is now ten and about 20 feet tall.

I hae a bird that is coming to my bird feeder that looks just like this bird, but I swear its head is green. It acts like a wookpecker,, don't know what else it could be....it is beautiful......seems to be one by itself.

Two Golden fronted Woodpeckers are drinking the water out of our Humming Bird feeder, they'er long beaks allow them to fit the small openings.

There's a Golden-fronted Woodpecker building a cavern in a tree right outside my bedroom window. It's close to early spring here in Austin, TX and we've had a very mild winter. Don't know if it's a male or female, but it's hard at work. Can't wait to see the offspring...
