I was at Lindsay Parsons yesterday ~1-3pm, and the first loud voice I heard was one in a tree by the first field, which I could neither identify nor locate visually until, after some 10 minutes of repeating the same song, it flitted away across the field. I have a lousy iPhone-recording here:

Hi all, There is a Downy Woodpecker coming to our Oriole feeder and stuffing his bill with pieces of orange before flying off. Does anyone have any information about woodpeckers eating oranges? Here's a photo (by Marjolein Schat): http://picasaweb.google.com/Laura.Stenzler?feat=email Laura

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Downy eating oranges

Laura (and others), We have oranges out for the orioles and we have had a Red-bellied Woodpecker coming in to eat. He then carries off whole piecesof the orange. A piece is one-eighth of an orange the way Shirley cuts one up. The orioles have much better manners and eat only at the feeder.

[cayugabirds-l] winged warbler singing like Golden-winged at Park Preserve
