Red-headed woodpeckers

I live in a fairly wooded area outside the city limits. In fact, most of the lots back up to a large servitude area of woods. There’s lots of wildlife in this area, and plenty of different types of birds, But for some reason this year, I have noticed a large amount of red-headed woodpeckers. I mean more than the usual amount. We have plenty of Cardinals, Pine wobblers, Mockingbirds, Carolina Wrens, a decent amount of hummingbirds, doves, Pileated woodpeckers, and more on the increase, Whistler ducks…. But again, the most prominent bird in our neighborhood right now is the redheaded woodpecker. There’s at least 8 to 10 of them in the two or three adjoining properties all day long. There’s a pretty good mix of standing dead pine trees left over from hurricane Ida, so maybe they’re nesting in the area. At least that’s the only reason I could come up with. Otherwise, seems like they’re everywhere.
