Hi All, In addition to the Red-headed Woodpeckers seen by others today, I had 3-4 Sharp-tailed Sparrows in the peninsula of salt marsh just south of Turtle Cove and City Island Rd. One of the birds was definitely an Atlantic Nelson's, and I think one (see bad photos and notes in checklist linked below) was the interior subspecies. Still learning these birds, so I kept it as Sharp-tailed sp., but I'm totally open to other's input. I only got fleeting glimpses of the other 1-2. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15409259 Good Birding!Rich Aracil --
