This evening around 630 I watched 3 RUDDY TURNSTONE working along the newly
created beach on Seneca Lake, just north of the Ramada and the little iron
footbridge. They were hanging out with a flock of gulls. I am surprised to see
them there! Cool though.

The eldest are documented at around 9 years. There's no way to compute
an average.

Shirley reports that she just saw a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER being chased thru
our side yard by a Pileated WP. She knows the difference between
Red-headed and Red-bellied WPs and clearly saw the all-red head and
all-black back, plus the bold white areas in flight. This is the first
Red-headed WP
