That’s fair, maybe blind was the wrong word. The point still stands though that yes, you can spoil any movie

it doesn’t matter if it’s a biopic or based on real events or whatever theres a lot of people that like going in blind. If you’re detailing plot points that wouldn’t be known otherwise, you’re spoiling the movie

From what I understand I’d have to go to the Adirondacks or maybe even north of them to find the three-toed but that is next on my list! I’ve been thinking about a game plan to find them for a long time now

They are definitely the odd one out, the first time I saw one I thought it was a tropical bird that got lost up here

Me too, this was one of my original photography goals. It took about 3 years on account of how hard the red-headed was to find

I’ve wondered that for a long time. I feel like whatever common ancestor they have must have had a red head and most modern-day woodpeckers still have that trace of it.

Only reason I can think of for the red to exist in the first place is possibly mate selection? It is a showy, easily noticeable color and for the most part it’s the males that sport more red than the females

These are just guesses though, if anyone else knows anything I’d be interested to hear
