While birding Kissena Park this afternoon I ran into Joseph O'Sullivan. He reported a Red-headed woodpecker, male with bright red head. I went looking for the bird immediately and found it. Took and video. The bird was seen by him and I in the sycamore trees just north of the Lake, south of Oak Ave, very near restrooms/park offices.

A number of fox sparrows also are associating with the brown thrasher. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
