Hi all, I went to Montezuma NWR this morning, primarily to check out the May's Point Red-headed Woodpecker spot. I watched a single individual for over an hour as it called and excavated a cavity at the forked top of a dead tree. Did not see a second bird. Hope this one can attract a mate. At the Visitor Center the 2 Purple Martin houses had lots of activity, with the birds bringing nest material and still squabbling over nest sites.
