Ok, seems no one is interested. I don't have the time to look for it but this is the ONLY one I have seen since about 1964/5 when I saw a pair in South Miami.... Those I watched for 15 minutes as they shelled out a dead standing Dade County Pine tree just south of the playground at Sunset Elementary School. Literally I was a 6 year old watching them from perhaps 15 feet.... Monster big woodpeckers, only one had a red crest, one black -- both with loads of white underneath and on the back and with white beaks. Picked them out of a picture book line up for my dad... his comment was, I thought those were all gone.... Now he is too.... Grover
