On the map it looks like the RH Woodpeckers were NORTH of Mud Lock, not south. Donna Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Nutter To: Cayugabirds-L@cornell.edu Sent: Friday, August 23, 2013 4:39 AM Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpeckers, Mud Lock, Town of Aurielius
George Chiu photographed a pair of adult RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS at dead trees south of Mud Lock, with similar behavior to those on South Mays Point Road, flycatching and bringing food to a cavity.

They were using the dead trees across the canal just south of the dam. One kept returning to a hole after catching something. Not sure if it was feeding young or caching the food. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/geobirder/9571209331/" title="Red-headed Woodpecker by Geo Birder, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3710/9571209331_d0b930a338.jpg" alt="Red-headed Woodpecker" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/geobirder/9571209271/" title="Red-headed Woodpecker by Geo Birder, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3717/9571209271_9103cd353b.jpg" alt="Red-headed Woodpecker" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/geobirder/9571209201/" title="Red-headed Woodpecker by Geo Birder, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5477/9571209201_3fd8c7e33d.jpg" alt="Red-headed Woodpecker" /></a>" -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to 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/ --
