[cayugabirds-l] RH Woodpecker/Mud Lock
Becky I just came back from the Lock. The tree/s in Geo Chiu's pictures are immediately north of the old eagle nest platform where we often saw the eagles sitting. We saw at least 4 holes but NO birds, except starlings, a crow Northern Rough-winged Swallows. Geo Chiu does not say when he saw or photographed the birds! The pictures were posted 23 Aug.. Confirmation would be helpful so birders don't make futile attempts to find the birds although it is a beautiful day to be out. Fritzie B.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] RH Woodpecker/Mud Lock
One of our many stops today was Mud Lock. Ann, Dave, Susan and myself had good views of one Red-headed Woodpecker today in the snags south of the dam. With the two at May's Point it was a 3 RHWO day. There may be more than one at Mud Lock, but of course if two birds are switching places it can be hard to discern.

[cayugabirds-l] RH Woodpecker
Just a couple comments about the May's Point pair. I saw my first glimpse of a Red-headed Woodpecker on June 2nd (while on an Eaton field trip). It was only a brief glimpse before it was chased off by blackbirds, wasn't 100% sure (not having heard of any in the area) so I didn't report it. I also have photos of it with a blackberry in it's mouth and a couple bees. It has also exhibited flycatching behavior. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
