It looks like today is the day for people with the last name of Wood to find a Red-headed Woodpecker. Chris Wood just sent a text message about 30 minutes ago saying that he found a Red-headed Woodpecker at Hog Hole, "near lake w side of field."

The bird landed first on a small sunflower seed feeder where two brilliant male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were feeding. I was busy appreciating the black/white/red spring extravaganza (and the sunshine) when it intensified as the woodpecker flew to the feeder, then to a branch of the big maple above, appeared to cache a piece of suet, then disappeared to the east. I haven't been able to refind the bird as of this writing. This isn't far from where, last year (?) someone reported a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER at Old Hundred at the corner of Bostwick Rd. and Five Mile Dr. Lisa Wood Ithaca -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
