[cayugabirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker in Lansing

[Marc Devokaitis]

Be on the lookout:

I just talked to a woman who lives on Peruville Rd (nearest cross street:
Sheldon) who has been observing a Red-headed Woodpecker at her feeders for
several days. She has observed it flying across the street to the same
location many times, and suspects there may be a nest.  I have encouraged
her to post to eBird.

[cayugabirds-l] Mystery fledgling

[Donna Lee Scott]

I have been trying hard to identify a fledgling songbird I saw yesterday 
morning, after non-Birder neighbors alerted me to its presence down the road 
from my house. It was perched on a branch in a pile of sticks on ground. They 
had first seen it IN the road & stood by it to make an oncoming car not hit it. 
By time we got back there again, it had apparently flown up to its branch off 
road a couple feet.

It's back and wings were predominately Slaty gray, not brown or Rusty. I think 
it might have wing bars. It's breast & belly were  plain whitish with no 
stripes that I noticed. (I did not have phone so could  not take photo)
It's head had three distinct white lines (similar in layout to one of those 
slotted bicycle helmets), 1 line down center of head, & with a white line over 
each eye. and these three white lines were separated by black lines. Very 
distinct lines. Small beak.

As the neighbors & I stood aways away watching it to see if it was OK, it & a 
parent we could not see above us in mature deciduous trees made calls to each 
other that sounded a little like 'toots'.

It didn't sound like the thin, squeaky wheelbarrow sound of a Black & White 
Warbler.
It didn't LOOK like juveniles of White Throated or White Crowned Sparrows in my 
Sibley guide or my Audubon phone app, or iBird Pro. Altho I thought the sounds 
the fledgling & parent made sounded a little more full-bodied like the tone of 
1 of those 2 sparrows.

Anybody have a guess as to what species this little bird is?
Is it one of those sparrows?

I went right home to get binocs & went back intending to wait nearby to try & 
see adult coming down to the baby, but it must have tried its wings again & 
disappeared into the woods. I could not find it anywhere.

Help!
